At times it seems that we can do pretty well, we've been to school, some university, the necessary tools are already there. We're not going to be knocked off our feet! We have children of our own, and we want to give them the best for life, so we take them to nursery in the mornings. But it is at nursery that something happens to all of us, when the rudiments of our emotions unravel, when fears, dreams and secret desires are revealed. In an instant, we become children ourselves, everything is taken personally and passionately. When asked what to put in the children's Christmas parcel, we are pulled as if the whole world were at stake! Kindergarten right now is such a hot place, where you can bring your whole past life and unravel it to show your inner self!

The play is based on a board game drawn by Ottomar Sukko, the play version of which you can view and download here (click to open the play in pdf format).
