Dän Swänska Theatren
Dän Swänska Theatren ('The Swedish Theatre') was an all-male Swedish Theatre Comedy troupe, active between 1682 and 1691: from 1686 in Stockholm. The company performed in Lejonkulan in 1686-89 and in Bollhuset in 1689–91. They were the first theater company in Sweden composed of Swedish actors and formed the first Swedish language theater in Sweden.[1] However, they were a company formed of student actors from Uppsala University, who did not regard themselves as professional actors and who referred to their activity as temporary, which it also was.[2] Nevertheless, they were pioneers in the history of the Swedish theater.
