A spooky and hair-raising interrogation drama.
Lisa, who is nearing seventy, is accused of a serious crime. During the police interrogation, she begins to tell her story. Soon, she is the one steering the conversation, and reality slowly starts to skew.
Something happened there on the platform – but what?
Ann Petrén and Sylvia Rauan meet in a spooky and hair-raising interrogation drama with a sense of everyday’s sad comedy. Bit by bit the ominous puzzle of Lisa’s worldview is pieced together. Is she a victim or a perpetrator? Or both?
A Heart in This Day and Age is a play by John Ajvide Lindqvist, world-renowned for his depictions that make fear creep under the skin. Here he collaborates with director Anna Takanen, who previously directed Ajvide Lindqvist’s The Unauthorized in St. Paul’s Church in Stockholm in 2019 – the play where the character Lisa first saw the light of day.
Together they now create a dense and unsettling drama about the consequences of loneliness and insecurity – and about the unwillingness to bear guilt.
“Whoever has a heart these days would do best to keep hidden and shut their lip. That’s how it has become. In our beloved Sweden.” – Lisa in A Heart in This Day and Age
