Me and You

for children ages 5 and up

Synopsis
Ziggy and Doodle are opposites. While Doodle enjoys playing and is curious about the world, Ziggy is constantly afraid of everything. He believes that a stone could fall on his head at any minute. And so the two begin to build walls around themselves, in order to be safe, which eventually leads to a test on their friendship.

ME AND YOU is Ingeborg von Zadow´s often performed first play. It is built on a basic existential situation, like a parabel, that can easily be understood by children and adults alike.
