In co-production with The Other Room, and in association with Sherman Cymru, Empty Deck present a programme of some of the most exciting contemporary plays coming out of Scandinavia in venues in Cardiff.

Winterreise, by Fredrik Brattberg 

Rehearsed Reading
Saturday 24th October, 4pm

When Anne and Alfred bring their newborn baby Charlotte home neither of them expect the uncertainties that she adds to their lives. Wandering delicately between the normal and the abnormal, this one act play ruthlessly exposes what might be missing in us as mothers and fathers, and tells a quietly distressing story of two new parents who can’t step off the train they’ve embarked on.

Cast: Catrin Morgan, Owain Gwynn, Joanna Griffiths
