Manawatu Theatre Society presents Stockholm FRIDAY AUGUST 16, 7:30PM Written by Bryony Lavery
Directed by Mikel O’Connell Produced by Manawatu Theatre Society Meet the couple every couple wants to be. Attractive and immaculately turned out, they are the perfect team. Tomorrow they will be in Stockholm, a city where, in summer, the sun shines 24/7 and sometimes it's dark all day long. Today it's his birthday and she's going to give him all his presents and treats and surprises. Treading a fine line between tenderness and cruelty, Stockholm reveals a relationship unravelling. It's beautiful, but it's not pretty. Audience care: Stockholm is a two person show about a volatile relationship between a young couple. A sexual assault scene is stylised and delivered abstractly within the performance. The actors are fully clothed at all times. There are scenes which represent and portray physical violence and include heavy expletive use. This performance is recommended for a mature audience. Need to talk? Or want more information regarding family violence? Please click here. Find out more Website ENTRY: Tickets available HERE or from the Globe Theatre Box Office
