2015
Sedan
Julia doesn’t know who she is at work, and seemingly neither does her boss-lady Eva or the company’s new event manager Rikard. In fact, perhaps they all just assume their roles as instructed by a creepy Rammstein-obsessed success guru?

Recipient of culture grant from the City of Gothenburg

Lager
Dinner amongst friends is all good and well. But when the only safe space from showing off and stereotyping is the bathroom, conversations and cream cakes are bound to collapse at some point.

Finalist in Sweden’s biggest scriptwriting competition NY TEXT!

Annan
A girl, a boy, an ex. Shamefully conventional dreams in a too conventional world, and the dilemma of wanting the pretty dress as well as the mighty sword. And a very big cheese.
Directed by Maria Hesse, produced by Annan Teater
Premiered at Teater Uno, Gothenburg, Sweden (2012), remounted due to public demand
Therese also performed in and composed music for Annan

OTHER WRITING

Therese is always keen to challenge herself through new forms of expression. During the 2020 lockdown period she wrote her first short film and was invited by Bruised Sky to write a short monologue (performed by Madeleine MacMahon, video below). She is currently working on a series idea. Other current projects include working with Sven-Bertil Taube (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) to create a new Swedish translation of Alessandro Barricco’s 1994 play Novecento and past commissions have included advert scripts for Universal Sweden.
