Godtemplarna - Hopp, Törst, Svek

In Arboga, Olof founds Sweden's second temperance lodge. His ambition is to create a hub for the entire Swedish temperance movement and build Sweden's first lodge house - soon he finds both friends and love, and the movement grows under his charismatic leadership.

But in Sweden's first Godtemplars lodge, hostility toward founder Olof intensifies, and in Arboga jealousy flourishes. Behind the facade, solidarity fractures, and a thirst for something other than alcohol takes shape - a thirst that cannot be quenched.

The play revolves around life, alcohol, love, betrayal, and lies. Who really is Olof Bergström, and how far are we willing to go to belong?
