Friends and colleagues in grief: "One of the greatest of our time"

The actor Shanti Roney has worked with Lars Norén, among other things in the performance Skuggpojkarna (1999).

He remembers an open and curious director.

Working with Lars Norén was a creative process where the script was not written in stone but could be developed during the rehearsals.

- He was very simple, open and curious about the work.

You felt that here you can be yourself.

He had the openness to try to create the play at the moment together, he tells SVT.

Lars Norén's agent Margareta Petersson says in a written comment that it has been a privilege to follow his art.

“My thoughts go first and foremost to Lars' family.

For my own part, as an agent, I have had the privilege of following Lars' multifaceted artistry for almost twelve years, both as a co-worker and friend.

I am deeply grateful for that and for the fact that I, together with Lars, got to share many wonderful laughs about the drought of everyday life ", says Petersson.

Eva Bonnier, publisher at Albert Bonnier's publishing house, says in a written comment that Lars Norén is "one of the greatest of our time".

“Lars Norén's significance as a writer and playwright is almost impossible to formulate right now in a couple of sentences, but he was one of the greatest of our time.

For me personally, as Lars Norén's publisher, our collaboration has been extremely stimulating for many years, ”she writes.

Lars Norén turned 76 years old.
