The Grinch Comes to Sweden in First Nordic Stage Production

He is green, has a very small heart - and hates Christmas. Now Dr. Seuss' classic story about the Grinch is being staged for the first time in the Nordic countries.

Jan Åström plays the Christmas hater, and Claudia Galli and Manfred Erlandsson appear in major roles at Nya Cirkus in Stockholm, where the premiere will be held on December 16.

"I won the biggest prize. I get to play the Grinch! Call it luck - a character who is both mean and funny," says Jan Åström in a press release.

Directed by Catherine Fallenius, the performance combines music, humor and "spectacular" circus elements.
