Abstract
While the term national theatre has been used for a long time in various countries as the name of the nationally subsidized major theater in the national capital, the idea of a theater that will serve a whole nation instead of a segment of it is being realized in Sweden. For Riksteatem is what its name implies—the national theater or the theater for a whole nation. Such a theater conceived in the depths of the world-wide depression in 1933 and successfully developed over the past twenty-five years in a country with less than eight million inhabitants should warrant study by non-Swedes, not least by theater-minded people in our own country where interesting attempts were made by way of federal theater projects during the depression.
