In an ethereal world haunted by the melody of Chopin’s Waltz No 6, a young woman is caught somewhere on the edges of death and dreams. Her detached and confusing memories are slowly revealed as the story throws the audience continually back and forth between innocence and disturbance. A detached and hollow world combined with a chilling reality and a mixture of humour, sexuality and violence. StoneCrabs is the first theatre company that has brought the work of Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues to the British Stage.
