Me, Grandma, Iliko and Ilarion

This stage adaptation is based on the beloved and iconic novel of the same name by Nodar Dumbadze, one of the most cherished classics of Georgian literature.

Kindness, empathy, and love for people remain the central themes of both the original work and this theatrical adaptation.
