Jacobowsky and the Colonel
Bergman's production of Werfel's play was originally scheduled to open in the spring of 1945, but was postponed until the following season.
About the production
Werfel's play had been produced by Torsten Hammarén at the Gothenburg Municipal Theatre earlier. Comparisons were inevitable and some voices indicated that Bergman's undertaking was somewhat presumptuous.
