Daughter of Sweden is a one-woman show by Teater Kaleido, written and performed by Cecilia Säverman and directed by Judith Hollander, performed in English translation. It brings to life the story of Princess Cecilia Vasa, who is caught with a lover in 1559 and condemned by European society. Undeterred, she ventures into Renaissance Europe and seeks independence through her friendship with Queen Elizabeth I of England, before contemplating a life of piracy. The show is presented at Theatre 1 and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A one-woman show that turns a largely forgotten royal scandal into a sharp, seafaring adventure. Cecilia Säverman performs her own text, bringing a sixteenth-century princess's defiance vividly to life in a story about freedom, friendship and refusing to be tamed.
