Winter Solstice

A festive drama for politically divided times: David Haig and Sam Troughton star in Winter Solstice, a dark comedy of political discomfort at Christmas time, written by Germany's leading contemporary playwright, Roland Schimmelpfennig.

It's Christmas Eve and Albert, Bettina and Bettina's mother, Corinna, are gearing up for another passive-aggressive Christmas. To make matters worse, there's a stranger at the door - a man Corinna met on the train. He's charming, he's cultivated, but as the red wine flows, the views he's expressing become increasingly... uncomfortable.

The family's Christmas becomes a divisive and disturbing experience, overlaid with sinister echoes from the past.
