Just in time for the Halloweekend, you're invited to ANNEX Theatre this Saturday for a workshop presentation of "Selma Lagerlöf's The Löwensköld Ring" – a Swedish ghost story from 1925, brought to life on stage by an incredible all-female creative team

Dramatic workshop presentation based on the 1925 Swedish ghost story. Just in time for Halloween! Doors at 6:30pm, show at 7:00pm!

Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was the first woman and the first Swede to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Born on a farm in rural Sweden and trained as a teacher, she became the most widely popular author of her time. Several of her novels inspired innovative and acclaimed films, such as “Sir Arne’s Treasure” (1919) and “The Phantom Carriage” (1921).
Though Lagerlöf’s adventure tales, folk tales and ghost stories stand the test of time as both relevant and riveting, her work is largely uncelebrated or even unknown by modern Canadian literary audiences. Join us this October as we celebrate Lagerlöf’s life and work while exploring her 1925 novel “The Löwensköld Ring” in an all-female collaborative stage adaptation at ANNEX Theatre.
