Reduce Morals

Reduce Morals was the 13th and final presentation of the 1944-45 season in Helsingborg.

About the production

Certain key assessments of Ingmar Bergman's directorial style and approach now began to crystallize in the local reviews, which reffered to his 'inventiveness' and 'shocking unconventionality'.

In a programme note Bergman thanked the public for its 'patience with our youth, indulgence vis-à-vis our capers and recognition of our good will and our genuine intent'.
