Royal Dramatic Theatre

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

The Royal Dramatic Theatre or in Swedish Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern, short known as Dramaten, is Sweden's national stage for 'spoken drama'. Around one thousand shows are played annually on the theatre's eight running stages. The Royal Dramatic Theatre was built in 1788 and placed directly opposite the opera house of the Royal Theatre at Kungsträdgården in Stockholm, with a park in the middle separating the buildings. Here the Royal Dramatic Theatre remained up until 1907, and it was here new dramas of the 19th Century were performed; the pioneer plays of Ibsen and Chekov, as well as August Strindberg's late dramatic works, for example Till Damaskus (To Damascus). When mentioning the national stage in Sweden, you generally speak of the old Royal Dramatic Theatre (meaning Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern that was located at Kungsträdgården 1788-1907) and then the new/present Royal Dramatic Theatre, a.k.a Dramaten, located at Nybroplan since 1908 ('Dramaten' is not used when referring to the old Royal Dramatic Theatre).
