Alice Månsdotter Viklund

 

Alice Månsdotter Viklund is a playwright, scriptwriter, and director with experience in writing and directing for a variety of media, such as film, TV, podcasts, theatre, and live shows.

In 2018, Alice premiered her first play Barnens scener ur ett äktenskap during Bergman Week on Fårö. Since then, she has written and directed numerous stage plays, most recently including the popular live shows Det Skaver Live: Överallt & Ingenstans and Berg och Gynning Live.

In 2020, Alice transitioned into screenwriting with her short film Min sorg is my castle featuring Alva Bratt, Alexandra Dahlström, and Tina Pour Davoy. In 2022, Alice worked with Tomas Alfredson on translating and transcribing scripts for the SVT series Trolösa.

Since March 2024, Alice has been working as a development producer at the production companies Jarowskij/Yellow Bird, two of the largest and most established drama production companies in the Nordics. There, she focuses on script development and on discovering and shaping new ideas for film and television. She is also currently studying at the highly regarded Alma Screenwriting Program.

Her recent work includes writing episodes for the acclaimed and successful Viaplay series Leva Life (season 2). Alice has also worked as a writer and dramaturge for the popular podcast sitcom Stammis on Spotify.

Human relationships are often at the centre of Alice's storytelling. In her writing, contrasts are juxtaposed – raw meets funny, the everyday meets the grand – all while maintaining authenticity and heart. Driven by her interest in dramaturgy, she also explores how to tell a story, regardless of genre or medium.

In addition to the Alma Screenwriting Program, Alice has an educational background in drama and scriptwriting, including studies at Biskops Arnö and Johan Borups Højskole in Copenhagen, as well as liberal arts studies at the University of Gothenburg. She started out as a director's assistant at Dramaten and Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, where she gained valuable experience working on several plays.
