Don’t Call Me Grandma

A funny, heartwarming, and at the same time relevant story about generational misunderstandings, love, and the complex art of living together. The play “Don’t Call Me Grandma” tells the story of Mrs. Tina — a widowed librarian in her seventies who is passionately in love with books and has devoted her entire life to reading, preserving, and caring for them.

Small in stature, elegant, impeccably organized, and slightly eccentric, Tina seems not to walk but to float, not to speak but to sing, captivating everyone with her unique world.

But suddenly, she faces the greatest challenge of her life — taking care of her grandchildren. Modern teenagers, living in the world of smartphones and social media, meet a woman whose reality is built around books — and their encounter turns into a true “cultural clash.”

Rules, freedom, love, and responsibility — everything is put into question. Yet through humor, conflict, and sincere conversations, this story gradually becomes a touching tale of understanding.

This is a performance about generational differences, the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, and the idea that sometimes “grandma” may turn out to be the most modern person of all.
