Does my kid need to understand Swedish?

It's a spoken puppet play performed in Swedish, so kids who follow Swedish get the full story. The puppets, shadows and music give others plenty to watch, but the plot comes through the words.

Where do I buy tickets?

Online through Kulturbiljetter, which the theater links to from its own site. With only a few dates, book ahead.

Is it OK for a 2-year-old?

The theater lists it for ages 3 to 8, so a 2-year-old is below the age it was made for.
