The play, based on Güntert Grass´s novel, tells the story of Oskar Matzerath, who at the age of three decides, after observing the obtuseness and duplicity of the adult world, to will himself not to grow up. As a result, he retains the stature of a child while living through the beginning of Word War II several love affairs, and the hypocritical world of postwar Europe.

Q-teatteri was founded in March 1990. The founder members are free-lance actors. The aim of the group is to create new ways and conditions to make independent, original, and experimental theatre, and to develop different rehearsing methods. At the moment there are 50 members in the group/company, which could also be called a production unit. The members are actors, directors, costume designers, set designers, lighting designers, producers, playwrights, theatre technicians, photographers, and graphic designers, all working on a free-lance basis. Q-teatteri has become one of the most significant theatre companies in Finland.
