Can one choose the future? What is it that matters? And how does one know who they truly are?

"Röd Måne" is a play about four teenagers facing the choice of high school education. On this night, during the lunar eclipse, they truly get to know each other and set their path towards the future.

It's a play about friendship, life choices, and the challenge of fitting in, written with the assistance of eighth graders from Vaksalaskolan and Stenhagsskolan in Uppsala.

Excerpt from review:

"Youth plays are often more style than story. Teenage rebellion, competition, aggressions - everything is ground down into the same baggy attitude. Greta Sundberg's play is different. It has focus and drive, heart and pain [...] The moon turns red when it enters the Earth's shadow. A look through the telescope provides perspective on the entire existence. On stage, it's about life choices. About the immediate choices before high school, which many in the audience will also face, and the others, later on. [...] Fine, nuanced portraits. The result is a real journey, both for the talented ensemble and for the audience."
