Claes Malmberg, Pia Johansson and Mats Blomgren in Strindberg's classic relationship drama. Directed by Nora Nilsson.

For twenty-five long years, the married couple Edgar (Claes Malmberg) and Alice (Pia Johansson) have lived on an isolated island in the archipelago. He, an artillery captain, and she, a former actress.

The marriage has been completely frozen for many years and the sadness is great over the future that was not. Poisonous lines fly between them.

Loved, hated, praised and mocked. Sara from Karlstad became Zarah Leander to the whole world.
Loved, hated, praised and mocked. Sara from Karlstad became Zarah Leander with the whole world. She was the highest paid film actress of her time and an internationally celebrated singer. Worshipped. Not least in Germany, during the dark reign of the Nazis. Something for which she was also questioned at home in Sweden.

The marriage between Hildegard and Jörgen has probably been strained even before the strip club came to the village. But now! No one is left untouched by this incredible addition to the entertainment scene, who is for it and who is against it? As if that weren't enough, Näcken herself is roaming the edge of the forest.

The frustrated Hildegard, played by Anna Blomberg, has her life turned upside down. When she and the dancer Jessica chase the mysterious Näcken, not only does an unexpected friendship arise. She also realizes that the secret she has been carrying will soon be exposed.

In the middle of a small town, everyday life, dreams and longing meet. In Hildegard and Jörgen's combined living room and foot care salon, life goes on in all its quiet confusion, while the new entertainment establishment lures with glamour and promises of something more. And out in the forest, Näcken keeps vigil between nightmare and daydream, between allure and danger.

“I have no words, actually!” – that’s what the chairman of the municipal board once said when the news came. The news was one of many that followed the rounds surrounding Boxholmsost.
This is a story about a society that refused to give up. A fight for more than a dairy product – about identity, pride and faith in the future. Playwright Ivar Waldemarsson, known for the success Jag for ner till bror , gives voice to the story of Boxholm and the cheese. How does a place feel when its identity is taken away? What makes people fight? What does defeat taste like? Four actors from the Östgötateatern with musicians go on tour in Östergötland to meet the audience on home turf

In the cabaret Drömmen om elen, we take you on an electric journey through the whirlwinds of the energy debate. There will be sketches, monologues and pieces of music written and directed by the master of satire Gertrud Larsson, who has done research on site in the county.

Drömmen om elen is Byteatern Kalmar Länsteater's contribution to the debate during the 2026 election year. A contribution that provokes new thoughts and offers a lot of laughter.

On stage are Agnes Forstenberg and Anna-Lena Efverman together with a musician.
Gertrud Larsson has previously written Glasjesus and Kalasa med Vasa for Byteatern Kalmar Länsteater.

When Dre and Des meet as sixteen-year-olds, anything is possible. The world is wide open and the emotions are bombastic. They share dreams, closeness and their first great love. Many years later, they meet again. They are now thirty-two. Dre has stayed, Des has moved. Everything has changed, and yet the bond between them remains.

In an interplay between then and now, between memory and reality, their shared history unfolds. What happens when the past collides with the present? Does their love belong to the past, or is it still here?

About Swedish soldiers' experiences from the war in Afghanistan
They are among us, but few have heard their stories. In The Veterans we meet the Swedish soldiers who served in the war in Afghanistan.
 
It is about being able to trust each other, about volunteering and working hard. It is about the will to make a difference and about moments you never forget. But also about what we are prepared to do to be part of the group, and how we must live with our decisions – and about dealing with the great challenge afterwards – of becoming a “civilian” among others.

Married couple Rut and Ragnar are so happy! After decades together, they are finally getting divorced – promising to stay away from each other and leave each other alone forever.
But the plans for a solemn and beautiful ring-removal ceremony quickly go awry. Who will be the worst man ? Who gets the plain-knit sweater? How do you divide the cuckoo clock fairly? And… wouldn't it be wonderful to have one last divorce journey, a month of betrayal, together?

Rut & Ragnar , by Kristina Lugn, was originally written for our theatre director Gunilla Röör and Allan Edwall. Life got in the way and the play never reached its premiere. But now it's time! Spring 2026 will be Gunilla's last as theatre director, and there is no better farewell than touring the county with the play she finally gets to perform!

Shakespeare's merchant at a new address, where deafness is the norm.
In this free interpretation of The Merchant of Venice , Riksteatern Crea places the action on the island of Martha's Vineyard in the USA, a hundred years in the future. By this time, the digital world has collapsed and an alternative society has emerged on the island. A group of deaf idealists have settled there and built a community based on solidarity and self-sufficiency. But it is not long before power games and greed challenge the idyll.
The merchant Antonio lends money to his careless friend Bassanio to help him charm the delightful Portia. But the money actually comes from the hearing loan shark Sjölund. When Antonio cannot pay back on time, a dramatic trial begins, where lives and justice are at stake.

An unlikely story about faith, hope & flea market finds
Get to know the founder of Erikshjälpen, Erik Nilsson, and his fascinating life story in a story about daring to believe when no one else does. A musical theater about a young man with hemophilia who survives against all odds and manages to start an aid organization.

Uncle Erik is a touching musical drama based on Erik Nilsson's short but eventful life. It is the 1940s and in a hospital, a seriously ill and lonely boy dreams of making a difference, even though no one sees how he could manage anything at all. He will eventually lay the foundation for one of the country's largest aid organizations, but behind the success was a son, a husband and a father who dedicated his life to helping others when he could barely take care of himself. Everyone knows about Erikshjälpen, but who was Erik really?

The performance opens a tear in time, when Karin was alive. What happened? The audience is guided through the 20th century and a life that was followed for several decades by the silence of shame. Karin's written letters and most famous poems are portrayed with warmth, humor and seriousness.
The performance forms a cry out into our time from what she experienced then, now as relevant as then. Mental fragility in combination with the prevailing homophobia that existed then, makes our time visible. The music is sensitively composed based on knowledge of her life and is played by experienced musicians with the setting of cello, piano, guitar and voice. The performance brings a cultural treasure to life and the target audience is adults.

Here in the countryside in the remains of his Circus Tsirk Mechka we meet him, Sali. This time it's not just about circus acts and magic, something more important is at stake - his dignity.
