'Flowers for Algernon' and a talk evening in Tartu

The Tartu City Theatre's production 'Flowers for Algernon' is based on Daniel Keyes's science-fiction classic, the 1959 short story of the same name. The performance is followed by a talk evening with the actor and the director! On stage: Anne-Mai Tevahi; Karol Kuntsel (audio). Director: Algis Astmäe. Running time 1 h 15 min, followed by a talk evening with the actor and the director.

Jenny Gordon is born with an exceptionally low IQ, and scientists select her for an experimental brain operation that will triple her intelligence level. The same procedure has brought great success to a white laboratory mouse called Algernon. The effect of the operation appears gradually, and Jenny's intelligence keeps growing until it surpasses that of the doctors who experimented on her. It seems a discovery of global importance has been made, until Algernon's condition begins to deteriorate. Will Jenny's fate follow the same path? The book won the Hugo and Nebula awards; it was adapted into the Oscar-winning film 'Charly'.
