Facts and practical information

Björngårdsteatern, also called Christian Thums Commedi-huus and Theums Spelehus, was a theatre in Stockholm in Sweden, active between 1640 and 1655. It was possibly the oldest theatre in Scandinavia, but the information is scarce and it is unconfirmed if the theater permit was in fact used. It was in any event a popular tavern managed by Christian Thum. ()
