Nightwood Theatre - Stockholm

Wow ! What a powerful play. It starts out harmoniously and a little bit syrupy, making you wonder where this is going. A little bit of discord starts to seep in, a hint of what is to come. The discord begins to escalate and you begin to figure out what is going on, but not quite getting it until a climatic moment arrives, completely unexpected. It was explosive, felt unscripted and was incredibly bold. It left you feeling shaken and you then shared in the forgiving that followed as the tensions de-escalated. My friend and I discussed the play all the way home and it continues to haunt me. In particular, we wondered how many people we knew who suffer in silence in this manner.


The show is only running to the end of this week so you will have to move fast if you want to see it, which I think you should !
