22 augusti180 krWho will save Alfie Atkins?Alfie sits alone in the apartment where he lives and feels lonely. He has moved to a new place and doesn’t know any of the other children there. Sometimes his imaginary friend Malcolm appears, and when they play together, Alfons always gets to decide — like being the train driver when they play trains.

A performance about friendship, based on Alfie Atkins, the beloved children’s book character created by Gunilla Bergström.Read more & tickets
