The first production of Medea’s Children was in 1975 and was ground breaking in the way it featured and presented children’s everyday life on stage. Today, when a third of Swedish children are living with divorced parents, it has become a classic in Swedish Theatre and has also been performed in several countries around the world from Mongolia to South Africa.

The story unfolds and is told through the eyes of five year old Jason Junior, his sister nine year old Little Medea, their ex hero father Jason, Medea Jason’s wife and mother of the children and Anna the nurse. When dad is seeing someone else, hearts and feelings explode and nothing will, or can ever be, as it was before. The children shouldn’t need to be adults but when emotions run wild and the world is turned upside down and inside out anything can happen.  In the middle of this chaos is the big sister Little Medea with her little brother Jason just doesn’t understand, “what do you mean divorce?”
