The play is based on the book by Estonian writer Andrus Kivirähk, 'Spring and Poop'. Its director is Jānis Znotiņš, and the roles are performed by Jānis Znotiņš and Ance Muižniece. The play is intended for younger school-age children. It is the title of the play that has elicited various reactions on social media. One user writes in a post: "In a great country — great children's plays! Long live this great country!" This assessment angered socially active journalist Juris Vaidakov, who notes: "This is what happens when uneducated, uninformed idiots have access to social networks. To such posts. P.S. 'Spring and Poop' is a very lovely and charming story by an Estonian writer. They even made a great cartoon. It pleases both children and adults." Also in the comments, it is evident that many people view this play quite differently. One woman writes: "I saw the word 'poop', and the uncle started to have a fit." In turn, Viktoria shares her personal experience: "I really like it. When I ask what to include in TET, 'Spring and Poop' is the most frequent choice. And about dumplings, and about the missing sock." Other viewers also recall the play. One commentator writes: "The theater on Gertrudes Street also had this wonderful play, the children liked it, and I laughed so much! It is very sweet. The title, in my opinion, reflects the child's spontaneity. The play is very bright." Someone else notes that her child enjoyed both the play and its continuation: "At least my child read both this book and the sequel with great interest." 'Spring and Poop' is not just an entertaining story with humor understandable to children. The book that serves as the basis for the play addresses various themes of a child's growing up process — dressing, learning to read, relationships in kindergarten and school. The creators of the play emphasize that in these stories, one can see interconnections that are not always immediately clear to the child. Director Jānis Znotiņš previously explained that children's plays are created with the idea of allowing children to learn something while having fun and entertaining. The play also received the 'Night of the Actors' award in the 2015/2016 season as the play of the year for children or teenagers. In the discussion on social media, people mainly share positive memories. Some remember specific stories and characters, while others recall that the play was particularly engaging for children.
