Erik Wilhelm Djurström née Strandberg (22 February 1787, Stockholm

â€" 17 September 1841, Jönköping) was a Swedish stage actor. He was

the director of the travelling Djurström theater company, which was

one of the most well known in the first half of the 19th-century.Erik

Djurström was the son of the lawspeaker Erik Vilhelm Strandberg, and

given a good education. In 1807, he was engaged as an actor at the

Djurgårdsteatern in Stockholm, upon which he took the name

Djurström. After his debut he toured Sweden as a member of the

theater company of Fredrik Wilhelm Ståhlberg, and from 1819 his

Stålberg's widow Fredrika Gustafva Ståhlberg.Upon the death of his

employer director Fredrika Gustafva Ståhlberg in 1824, he took over

the theater company as its director. The Djurström theater company

was regarded as the perhaps most prestigious of the travelling

theaters in Sweden of its time, and held a high artistic standard

compared to the others in the yes of several contemporary critics.

Erik Djurström was described as an intelligent artist with refined

manner and good taste who translated many foreign plays to Swedish and

introduced them on the Swedish stage, and has been referred to as the

most noted theater director in Sweden of his time.He was described as

passionate but tolerant and was well liked as an employer for not

interfering in his actors private lives - as an example if his

tolerance it was noted that he did not interfere in the fact that his

lead female singer Angelique Magito lived with and had children with

one of the actors without being married to him, something which was

not a given thing during this epoch. He was also given unusual respect

in a time when the acting profession had a low social status: it was

said that every time his theater company arrived to a town, he was

invited to dine with professors and officials and held receptions

behind the stage.
