Gothenburg English Studio Theatre, Professional theatre in Majorna, Sweden
Gothenburg English Studio Theatre is a theatre in Majorna presenting performances across two stages with different capacities. The main stage seats around 90 people while the smaller space holds about 50 spectators for more intimate productions.
The venue was established in 2005 by Kristina Brändén Whitaker and Gary Whitaker, founders with deep experience in London's theatre scene. Their background in the London theatre world shaped the foundations of the house's programming approach.
The theatre brings together British and Swedish acting traditions by hiring performers from Britain while working alongside local Swedish production teams. This blend creates a space where different theatrical approaches meet and influence each other.
The theatre is located at Chapmans torg and is easy to reach with both performance spaces housed in one location for convenient visiting. Check ahead for current programming and show availability before planning your visit.
The theatre earned the Fringe Review Award for Outstanding Theatre at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival for their production of Expectations. This international recognition demonstrates that the work reaches audiences and critics well beyond Sweden's borders.
