GOTHENBURG ENGLISH STUDIO THEATRE 

presents the Swedish premiere of

Poison

by Lot Vekemans translation by Rina Vergano

Following a critically acclaimed run in New York and London, GEST are delighted to present Poison by Dutch writer Lot Vekemans in this English translation by Rina Vergano.

 

Two separate voices, two emotional lives and one shared story.

 

Alone in a room, He and She meet again face to face for the first time in years.

 

Poison is an extraordinary play that asks a simple question:

 

Is it ever possible to move on?

“An absorbing dance around the truth” 

- Evening Standard

“Truly astounding”

- Broadway World

Alongside the performance, we invite you to an art exhibition in the foyer with several different artists on the themes raised in 'Poison'. The doors to the exhibition open 1h 15h before the performance begins.

Presented by arrangement with Nordiska ApS - www.nordiska.dk
