Alex Schulman’s original monologue Tröstrapporter is currently being performed on the main stage of Dramaten, the Swedish national stage for theatre. The monologue about a man coming to terms with the events of his life, returning in glimpses to traumas of childhood, is performed by award-winning actor Gustaf Skarsgård. The show premiered on September 16th and has received glowing reviews.

While discussing the play, which marks bestselling author Alex Schulman’s debut as a playwright and director, Schulman said that “I felt like doing it maybe because it seemed so difficult, to maintain the audience’s interest in every line of text and in every second on the stage.”

Tröstrapporter runs from September 16th to November 22nd.
