Brainchild of renowned Swedish playwright August Strindberg, the Strindbergs Intima Teater was established in Stockholm in 1910. In its initial run as a performing arts hub, the Strindbergs Intima Teater hosted nearly 1500 performances based on about 25 of Strindberg's plays, such as The Ghost Sonata and Miss Julie. While the theater closed after Strindberg's death, it was revived by the Culture Department in 2001, and has since been restored to its thriving glory. Today, the theater hosts plays in tandem with the Royal Dramatic Theater, besides occasional in-house productions and plays for children and young adults.
