Gothenburg English Studio Theatre presents the Swedish premier of the award winning "The Events" by David Greig, performed in English with professional actors from Britain. A rare, daring and beautiful new play wherein the cast will be joined by different local Stockholm choirs every performance.

GEST returns to Stockholm and Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, following on from the success of The Woman in Black in 2014.

The Events is the story of Claire, a liberal church minister, who runs a community choir in a small seaside town. "... a choir that brought together vulnerable people, old people, asylum seekers, immigrant men, young mums and so on ? it was a ? the idea was ? you can imagine." One day a boy walks in during a choir rehearsal resulting in devastating consequences. Claire becomes obsessed with the boy and the reasons for his actions. She looks for answers among the politicians that the boy associates himself with, his father, old classmates and, in the end, the boy himself. It?s a journey that takes her to the edge of reason, politics and faith.

A unique opportunity to see professional, contemporary British theatre at its best, right in the cultural heart of Stockholm.
