SATC's 'HOME SWEET HOME'

the award winning play


HOME SWEET HOME

U.S.A.
Premiere

Kim, a former Sergeant in the Danish army, and his girlfriend Iben, an editor of women's magazines, are preparing a "welcome home" dinner for Carsten, Kim's lifelong friend and once his Captain in the army. Cartsten has recently returned from service in Iraq and arrives for dinner handsome and fit. But during the evening, the couple are confronted with a person whose personality has become dark and secretive and whose understanding of life has become radically different from theirs. A pleasant reunion becomes a fatal evening where all three characters' relationships, values and principles are tested. Inspired by interviews with real Danish solders, award-winning ”Home Sweet Home” reveals the traumatic experience of war and the unsympathetic indifference of home as refracted through a Nordic country.

For Sheer Love of Me


BY ANNA KROGERUS


OCTOBER 18, 2010


Pre-reception at 7:30 pm, reading at 8 pm
Scandinavia House – Volvo Hall
58 Park Avenue (Between W 37th & W 38th St.)


The Northcliff family is slowly crumbling in their lavish apartment. Tea, an interior decorator, and her husband Lauri, a TV psychologist, are growing apart, while their ten year-old daughter, Sylvia, becomes increasingly lonely and isolated. Their suppressed feelings begin to surface with the arrival of their new neighbor, which leads to an inevitable collision. For Sheer Love of Me is a perceptive, compassionate and subtly humorous drama about alienation within a family.
