Sweden’s most experienced Shakespearean actors

About Shakespearefabriken: The Shakespeare factory was formerly known as Shakespeare at the Grass Courtyard and has played comedies and tragedies by the world’s most famous playwright in Vadstena for 26 years! Since 2019, the theatre has been housed in an old feed factory on the plain a few kilometers outside the city.

A new theatre venue is now being established here, which will provide magnificent theatrical experiences, and at the same time offer the audience a wonderful atmosphere in the industrial-romantic foyer and wonderful views of the marvellous cultural landscape. Based on the atmosphere of the old factory and its surroundings, the team wants to create a visual adventure, where the history of Swedish industrialism from just recently meets Shakespeare’s four hundred-year-old universe.

Our vision is to create a forum in which Shakespeare’s dramas unite different groups of people, regardless of age, gender, sexual preference and ethnic background, and help us to interpret the world, with a regional starting point.

Our plays are produced by a professional team with both professional and amateur actors. ShpG also arranges theatre courses in cooperation with Linköping University and the Vadstena Folk High School.

The Shakespeare Factory’s performances usually premiere in early July and are then played for five weeks.
