Career

[edit]

Montelius grew up in Täby, Sweden and went to school at the Eriksdalsschool.[1] During her teenage years, she worked at a library at Medborgarplatsen and later worked for the Royal Dramatic Theatre and Teater Plaza.[2][3] At Plaza she started a long co-operation with actor and director Thorsten Flinck.[4] She was a director and actress for his shows before starting to write her own work.[4]

In 2000, she made her debut as a playwright with the play Usch, nu blev jag lite mulen, and has since written fifteen more plays.[5] In 2011 she was appointed artistic director for the Teater Brunnsgatan Fyra Theater, a job she took over from her mother.[1] In November 2013, she had her first book published, Främlingsleguanen, which was published by Bokförlaget Atlas.[6]

In 2013, Montelius was a contestant on På spåret at SVT along with Dominika Peczynski.[3] She hosted her own episode of the popular Swedish talk radio show Sommar i P1 in summer 2014. Her episode was broadcast live while most Sommar i P1 episodes are pre-recorded and then aired.[7] Her episode was reviewed by Svenska Dagbladet, who described it as "controlled madness and seductive".[8][9]
