Summary, in Swedish
Trädgårdsgatan is a warm and heartfelt depiction of a divided Helsingborg and Sweden in transition. The play depicts three generations of women and their arduous efforts to deal with every-day life with work, marriage and children in the 1970s, 2000s and 2020s. Almost 50 years separate them, but they are united in their longing for a simpler and better life.
At the centre of the story is Birgitta, who is made redundant when the Swedish Public Employment Service undergoes a reorganization. At the same time, she inherits her mother’s apartment on Trädgårdsgatan, an address that literally divides Helsingborg in two, a North and a South. The memories of her mother and grandmother are brought back to life.
