by Arne Nielsen

Directed by Lars Junggreen
"...When secrets surface from the bottle up... "
as hidden mysteries unfold in a German house by a cold lake.
VODKA TALKS tackles the unsettling political waves of power and change spreading through Europe in 2022, a play with humour, drama and suspense.
A play about love, family and what it means to survive the past
Don't miss this moving, thought-provoking piece of contemporary theatre, a brand-new comedy drama which brings as much laughter as it does sorrow to the political stage.
In a Europe facing sweeping change - where do we all stand?

August 2021
HAP A brilliant quirky new comedy directed by Paul Glaser in 2021 marked the return to Sweden as director of Swedish-born musical theatre star Paul , currently Artistic Director of The English Theatre of Hamburg, Germany’s oldest private English-language theatre.
Playmate Theatre Malmö was delighted to host the very first world premiere of HAP the summer of 2021, after its launch in Hamburg. A sparkling new comedy stage play in English by BAFTA award-winning, OFFIE-nominated British playwright John Foster. A heart-warming and hilarious comedy about love, loneliness and our modern obsession with the pursuit of happiness.
Two very different city-slicker women, on either end of a slippery therapist’s couch!
Meet Hap. Despite all attempts to be a miserablist she can’t ever be unhappy. Unhappy at being happy, she visits Doctor Marples seeking a cure. Doctor Marples, herself desperate for joy, doesn’t know how to be happy in the first place!
Through the ongoing monotony of Brexit, Corona and takeaways-for-one, Hap and her doctor find to their surprise, giggles and romance in the most unlikely of places.
On stage; Vanessa Poole; Jana Pulkrabek
