Dramaten flooded – again

The Dramaten in Stockholm was evacuated on Wednesday evening in the middle of the play "King Lear". The performance was interrupted by a fire alarm and the visitors had to leave the auditorium.

Then came the message that the play would not be completed. The reason was a broken sprinkler system.

We have a special task force that has been called to the scene and will help. They will help to clean up the water on the floor, says Marie Nordahl, operations manager at the rescue service, to Aftonbladet.

Last week, the performance was also interrupted when rainwater began dripping down on the theater visitors. On that occasion, the performance could be completed, although a couple of people could not remain in their seats.
