Lars Göran Ingemar Norén (9 April 1944 – 26 January 2021) was a Swedish playwright, novelist and poet. His plays are realistic and often revolve around family and personal relations, either among people who are impoverished and rooted at the bottom of society, or people who live in material comfort but emotional insecurity.
Career
His first publication was a collection of poems - Syrener, snö (Lilac, snow) in 1963. He was among the contributors of Puss satirical magazine in late 1960s.
Norén's play 7:3 became a centre of controversy, after the murders of two policemen in Malexander in 1999 (The Malexander murders). The culprits had received furloughs from their incarceration at Österåker Prison to participate in Norén's play.
He was a Sommarvärd on P1's "Sommar" on 19 June 2005.
Norén was director at Folkteatern in Gothenburg between 2009 and 2011.
Death
Norén died on 26 January 2021, at the age of 76, after suffering from COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden.
