National Swedish Touring Theatre

Their main goal is to promote and produce high-quality theatre for all of Sweden, with a focus on areas outside of the major cities.

Initially, in the 1930s, the National Swedish Touring Theatre functioned as the touring branch of the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Sweden, allowing them to bring productions to audiences who were unable to attend the national stage in Stockholm.

The unique group specialises in staging theatrical works for the deaf community using sign language, and has gained international recognition and widespread acclaim in recent years.

[citation needed] In 1999, Lars Norén, one of Sweden's preeminent contemporary playwrights, founded Riks Drama as a division of the National Swedish Touring Theatre.

Additionally, the section of Riks Gästspel was established, which showcases guest performances by the National Swedish Touring Theatre abroad.
