‘He is her world
She is his night and day
They love each other to bits’
Frantic Assembly presents Stockholm, a love story.
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 sometime, there's perpetual dark. 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.
Stockholm unites leading physical theatre company Frantic Assembly with award-winning playwright Bryony Lavery (Frozen) and designer Laura Hopkins (Black Watch) to deliver an extraordinary perspective on the nature of modern love.
‘Up there with the best of the year so far… played out with brilliant controlled recklessness… terrifyingly erotic and haunting’ The Guardian'it's the performers' chemistry – quite apart from their bravura daring – that makes the evening. Lavery's cool eye has given Kali and Todd their thoroughly recognisable outline – but it's Lamb and James who flesh them out with heat-of-the-moment detail' Daily Telegraph
