Theatre entertainment in Stockholm

  1. A

    Fria Teatren

    Although its main base is in the suburbs, this independent theatre company also treads the boards here at Lilla Scenen, its affiliated stage. Born in the heady days of 1968, modest Fria has built up a mighty reputation for top-notch work with an often biting political edge.

  2. B

    Strindbergs Intimateater

    Established by the great scribe himself, this small stage has seen many a Strindberg premiere, including The Ghost Sonata, Miss Julie and Svanevit. These days, the repertoire has broadened, with collaborative partners including Dramaten (Royal Dramatic Theatre) and the New York Actors Studio. Most productions are in Swedish.

    Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern

    The Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten) is the grand dame of the Swedish stage, with productions ranging from Shakespeare to Strindberg in a lavish art nouveau setting. This is chez Bergman, where the famous director has been a driving force since the 1960s. Dramaten’s experimental stage, Elverket, pushes the boundaries with an edgier program performed in a converted power station. Ticket discounts include 10% for seniors, 35% for students and 50% for those under 25.
