stockholm

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 sometimes the sun shines 24/7 and sometimes it’s dark all day long. Today is his birthday and she’s going to give him all his presents and surprises.

 

Treading a fine line between tenderness and cruelty, Stockholm reveals a relationship unravelling. It’s beautiful, but it’s not pretty.

 

Following critically acclaimed performances across the UK, renowned physical theatre company Frantic Assembly make their Hampstead debut. Stockholm unites Frantic with award-winning playwright Bryony Lavery (Frozen) and designer Laura Hopkins (Black Watch) to deliver an extraordinary perspective on the nature of modern love.
