The Greatest of the Greatest
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s Directors’ Cuts 2019: Eva Johansson and Louise Löwenberg’s story of what happened when two creative geniuses met to produce the greatest work of their careers, and failed.
In June 2010 Thommy Berggren and Mikael Persbrandt, icons of Nordic theatre and film, announced that they were collaborating on a masterpiece. Only one week before the show was due to open, they cancelled all the performances.
This is the almost-true story of what actually happened when two male creative geniuses met to produce the greatest work of their careers, and failed. Oh, and Thommy and Mikael? They’re played by women.
