Samuel Ahlgren

Among his other parts was Soliman in Soliman II eller de tre sultaninnorna by Martin Krause in the 1789–90 season, Appius in Virginia by Paykull and Johan Gyllenstjerna in Siri Brahe och Johan Gyllenstierna by Gustav III of Sweden the 1790–91 season.

When the theatre of Ristell went bankrupt in 1788, the Royal Dramatic Theatre was founded by king Gustav III of Sweden, which was to be managed by a board of directors composed by the actors themselves under the supervision of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts.

The first supervisor from the academy was the nobleman Gustav Mauritz Armfelt, and the cooperation between him and the actors was stormy.

In 1794, Ahlgren challenged the Academy's representative, the nobleman Claes Rålamb, to a duel and was taken to the regent, Duke Charles, who wanted to but him in jail.

This incident caused Ahlgren to be fired from the Royal Dramatic Theatre, despite him, and then his wife, kneeling to the regent.
