Björn Runge, Sara Stridsberg and Sam Shepard


































Svenska (English below):


Stockholms stadsteater har Björn Runge satt upp sin pjäs 'Uppdraget' med vissa av de skådespelare han omgav sig med i filmen 'Om jag vänder mig om' .
Detta är Runges debut som scendramatiker.

Dramatens Elverket spelar den amerikanske dramatikern/skådespelaren Sam Shepard's pjäs 'Burried Child' .
I Sara Stridsberg's (Wikipedia om Sara Stridsberg) uppsättning har denna pjäs erhållit det oförargliga namnet 'Hem till gården' vilket ger associationer till den brittiska serien 'Emmerdale Farm' där handlingen drevs framåt lika långsamt som en förorenad brittisk flod.
I den förra svenska översättningen hette denna pjäs 'Ett barn begravet' men svenskar kanske inte orkar med en sådan titel? Det påminner dem om att världen inte är så vacker som de tror eller....?

English:

At the Stockholms stadsteater (The Municipal Theater in Stockholm) the Swedish film director Björn Runge has staged his own play 'The Mission' (my translation from the Swedish title 'Uppdraget') and he direct this play himself.
He is above all known for the film 'Daybreak' ('Om jag vänder mig om') and in this play he is using some of the actors from that film but also other films.
This is his debut as a stage dramatist/playwright.

The Royal Dramatic Theatre/Dramaten is playing the American playwright/actor Sam Shepard's play 'Burried Child' but they have changed the title to 'Back to the Farm' (my translation) and this makes Swedish audience think of the Brittish series 'Emmerdale Farm' , in Swedish translated to the above name.

When this play was staged last time in Sweden it kept its original name but maybe this is a title the Swedish audience find hard to tolerate? Is it maybe a title that reminds them of the fact that the world around them is not as beautiful as they think....?
