“Flowers for Algernon” and a talk evening in Tartu at Sündmuskeskus ZAAL

Tartu City Theatre’s café-style production of “Flowers for Algernon” is based on Daniel Keyes’s 1959 science-fiction novella, which won the Hugo and Nebula awards. The story follows Jenny Gordon, born with a very low IQ, who is chosen for an experimental brain operation that triples her intelligence. The same procedure brought great success with a laboratory mouse, Algernon.

The effect grows gradually until Jenny surpasses the intelligence of the doctors who experimented on her, and then Algernon’s condition begins to decline. The performance is followed by a talk evening with the actor and director. On stage: Anne-Mai Tevahi; audio: Karol Kuntsel.

Director Algis Astmäe. The performance lasts 1h 15min. The café opens an hour before and after the show.

Seats are unnumbered and latecomers are not admitted. Address: Aardla 25E, Tartu.
