Abstract

The focus in this article is on the role of television theatre in the early years of television broadcasting in Finland. The production context in which Kaj Munk’s play () (1932) – best known from Carl Th. Dreyer’s internationally renowned film classic of the same title – was adapted for transmission via Finland’s Swedish-language television theatre serves as an example. The teleplay (1962) was directed by Tom Segerberg.
