About the show
World-class – captures the soul of Ådalen”
BYGDESPELET HÖGA KUSTEN
Production by 2Entertain, Vicky Entertainment Production and Live Nation
After an overwhelming success and completely sold-out premiere summer, Bygdespelet Höga Kusten returns in summer 2025 – with the same fantastic ensemble!
A story filled with love and dreams. In one of Sweden's most scenic environments, at the mouth of the Ångerman River, we present a musical story filled with love, dreams, and songs by Tomas Ledin.
The show pays tribute to a bygone era, when the sawmill men and women laid the foundation for modern Sweden. A story about the power of pulling together is more important than ever in our time.
"Höga kusten is a beautiful fairy tale," says Tomas Ledin, "but it was born from reality.
My grandfather was auctioned off as a little boy and grew up to become a sawyer in the Lövvik area, later to find love and face military rifle barrels in Ådalen 1931."
In the community play, the auctioned-off Jonas meets the beautiful Svea, daughter of the region's wealthy farmer. Their love is forbidden.
With unwavering faith in themselves and through united efforts, they overcome the social divides and greed of their time to build a life together.
The fantastic ensemble returns to Höga Kusten Friluftsteater 2025!
Experience some of the country's most renowned musical artists and actors Morgan Alling, Sussie Eriksson, Klas Wiljergård, Victor Morell, Nils Reinholtz and Tova Hollender.
Together with local stars Jens Nilsson, Stina Johansson and Marta Parkman, along with a large local ensemble. With a live orchestra under the direction of Patrik Grundström, they bring unique authenticity and energy to the performance.
