Winner of the Wolff Whiting Award, Stockholm invites us in on an evening with Todd and Kali, the perfect self-styled couple. They’re beautiful, have a fabulous sex life and live in a designer home. But under the surface is distrust and desire so potent that even a much-anticipated holiday to Stockholm is threatened. Probing into the psychology of Stockholm Syndrome, Lavery transports us into a lovers’ dance that is at once destructive and euphoric. Stockholm leaves us questioning the fine lines between love and lust, aggressor and victim.
"Lavery’s needle-sharp script toys with the audience like a horror movie... a terrifyingly erotic and haunting 70 minutes.” - Guardian, UK “Thrilling exploration of form, Stockholm is provocative and unsettling, leaving you with questions buzzing in your head.” - Sunday Telegraph, UK Tickets are available by calling (416) 531.1827 or www.tarragontheatre.com Prices range from $15-$30 May 11 to June 3, 2012: Tuesday to Saturday at 8:00 p.m., Wednesday 1:30 pm Saturday & Sunday at 2:30 p.m. *Student matinees with education manual and talk-backs available.
