Playing at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2010!

The world premiere of Expectations performed at Teater Trixter in Göteborg 15 April- 8 May 2009 followed by it's UK premiere at The Contact Theatre, Manchester in October 2009. The show received excellent reviews in both Sweden and England and will be playing next at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2010.

Based on the authors own experience, Expectations is an honest, moving, hard hitting and often funny play. Two couples- one English, one Swedish both preparing for the birth of their child but things doesn't turn out the way they had imagined. The play follows their different paths and in the end all four are brought together. There are choices to be made, fears and secrets to share.

For nine months I had been preparing for the biggest journey of my life. I had been waiting expectantly...My suitcase was packed and I was ready. But we never could have prepared ourselves for the destination or the arrival.

***** 5 stars from Fringe Review (5th August)
