Synopsis

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.

Stockholm unites leading physical theatre company Frantic Assembly with award-winning playwright Bryony Lavery and designer Laura Hopkins (Black Watch, Mercury Fur) to deliver an extraordinary perspective on the nature of modern love.

Stockholm opened at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in September 2007.
