A monologue with several characters based on the life of Swedish King Gustav Vasas daughter Cecilia Vasa: the princess, the pirate, the scandal.
By & with: Cecilia Säverman
Director: Judith Hollander
Producer: Kattis Tjernström, Cecilia Säverman

Contact & booking: vasadottern@teaterkaleido.se
Information in Swedish:
Hyllat drama baserat på Sveriges skandalprinsessa Cecilia Vasas liv i regi av Judith Hollander. När Gustav Vasas dotter avslöjas med en älskare hoppas hela Europa att skandalen ska kuva prinsessan. Men brännmärkt, stenrik och frihetstörstande har hon bara börjat. Kanske kan en vänskap med Englands drottning ge självständighet - eller varför inte ett liv som pirat?
KULTURBLOGGEN om Vasadottern:
"En fantastisk kunglig historia suveränt framförd av Cecilia Säverman."
"Trots att det är en tragisk historia om ett tuktat kvinnoliv är den ju också komiskt berättad."
"Pjäsen är en monolog med många roller, intensivt tempo, ett angeläget ämne och mycket spännande.(...) Musiken är fint sammansatt och teatern flyter bra."
"Men osökt går tankarna till den hederskultur som frodas än i dag för många kvinnor i vårt samhälle."
Aftonbladet om Vasadottern:
”… om Vasadottern som trotsade renässansens hederskultur och kämpade för frihet… (Cecilia Sävermans) engagerade gestaltning spänner över olika åldrar och ansvarar för alla rollfigurer i denna spektakulära prinsessaga….Spelet flyter bra i Judith Hollanders regi…(E)n kompetent insats för att lyfta Vasadottern från fotnoterna in i rampljuset.”

This comedy quartet made a bombastic entrance into the jester world in 2015, and has since performed on both medieval festivals as well as in feministic arenas. In 2015 they won Wisby Award for a performance about consent, and in 2019 they were twice nominated at the Stockholm Fringe Festival for their show Hyckel Vulgäris (Unholy Hyckel). They have also performed at the famous club Nalen in Stockholm, and have also released a fanzine. Their music is on Spotify, and their Facebook is hilarious.

Kulturbloggen Nov 24th 2013.
"The two actors are talented and varies between different ways of being, both through body language and how they talk and move. Cecilia Saverman that plays the role of the woman (...) is trained both in musical, dance and song. One thing is sure, we will hear more about her and see more of her. "
Kultorama, Nov 30th 2013.
"The two actors (Cecilia Saverman and Ola Wallinder), perform this show with great expression that gives justice to the message, while the audience gets many laughs."
