Slutspelat – Ett komiskt sorgearbete

Three of Sweden’s most influential cultural figures join forces in the unique theatre project “Slutspelat – Ett komiskt sorgearbete”.

Marie Göranzon and Krister Henriksson are two of the most experienced and oldest voices in Swedish performing arts.

Their roots are planted deep in Dramaten, with branches reaching into film, television and the hearts of the public.

In “Slutspelat – Ett komiskt sorgearbete”, the two friends meet on stage in a newly written, personal play by Henrik Schyffert about life, theatre and relationships.

With humour and seriousness, the two friends dissect what their lives have really been like, on and around the stage.

When have you really finished performing? “In this production, we talk about things and events we’ve never brought up before.

There’s something very liberating about that,” says Marie Göranzon.

In the production, we join Marie and Krister as they wait in a dressing room to promote the play “Slutspelat” on a television programme with broad popular appeal.

The audience gets to follow their conversation and witness the personal encounter between the two actors.

In the dressing room, they are also joined by the young production assistant Rasmus, played by Nonni Ardal, acclaimed for his pitch-perfect stage presence.

The production assistant’s lack of awareness of the two icons’ stature sets off a series of misunderstandings and clumsy faux pas.

The production has been welcomed with open arms by audiences and critics alike. “Göranzon and Henriksson are true thoroughbreds” and “funny, outrageous and more than a little cheeky”, writes Expressen, while Svenska Dagbladet observes: “Two very different giants electrify the stage.” In autumn 2026, Henriksson, Göranzon and Ardal will take to the road to meet audiences with the hit production “Slutspelat”.

Stops include Lorensbergsteatern in Gothenburg. “I’m from the countryside.

I think the rest of the country deserves the very best.

It probably doesn’t get any better than this,” says Krister Henriksson.
