Alma Lindé

Alma Lindé is a playwright, scriptwriter, librettist and director. She has a bachelor's degree in drama/dramaturgy from Stockholm University of the Arts, and has written some thirty plays that have been staged in various theatres around Sweden.

This is how Alma describes her work:

"My vision as a playwright is really quite simple - I want to make people laugh, feel good and through my stories get to know different quirky characters that they probably would never have met otherwise. I have a great love for humanity, and the fact that we are so different is, I think, the greatest treasure of humanity. I love unlikely heroes, people who are stuck in an absolute truth about the way the world is, and forcing them to coexist with other characters with whom they clash a lot.

For me, humour is almost a sacred thing, something I truly believe is vital to humanity. I genuinely believe that you can reach just about anyone about just about anything if you tell the story with enough warmth, and if you make it funny enough."
