Lars Norén was born on May 9, 1944, in Stockholm, Sweden.
Norén grew up in southern Sweden, and has spent most of his life in Stockholm, where he still lives. At the age of 15, Norén moved to Stockholm. At the age of 18, he received a position of assistant director on the national stage of Dramaten, and later became an active playwright and director.
In 1963, he made his debut at the age of 19 with the collection of poems "Syrener, snö", and in the 1960s and 1970s he achieved great success as a poet with 15 collections of poems and various prose. Already in the early 1970s, Norén approached the stage figure, for example, in television plays such as Amala, Kamala (1971), and in radio shows such as Box One (1972). The Princess Lizard, his debut as a theater playwright, was put under scandalous forms in the 1973 drama.
With Orestes (1979) and Courage to Kill (1980), two pieces with a strong ritual and a theatrical classic touch, Norén returned to the scene. Partially autobiographical plays "Night is the Mother of the Day", and "Khaos is a neighbor of God", created in 1982 and 1983, respectively, and then shown on two well-known TVs in 1984, which became a real starting point for the fame of Norén as a playwright.
In addition, a total of hundreds of plays written by Lars Norén include, in particular, Dead Pieces, which consist of 14 pieces, including The Look of Hell, and the Sea of Di Classe trilogy, initiated by a circle of people 3:1 who voiced socially vulnerable in the streets of Stockholm; and controversial 7:3, which was written and executed in collaboration with a group of prisoners. Under the general title "Terminals", he wrote a long set of short plays with existential themes, as well as more social plays such as Anna Politkovskaya "In Memory", "Kila" and "War". Most of them were created both in Sweden and abroad.
During the 2000s, Norén also carried out a number of leadership assignments for both his own and those of others, both in Sweden and abroad. From 1999 to 2007 he was the artistic director of Riks Drama, Riksteatern, and from July 2009 to November 2011 the artistic director of Folkteatern in Gothenburg.

2003Quotations: “I wanted to see meetings, and I couldn’t see those in poetry. Poetry is one voice. I couldn’t bear the others’ messages in my intonation, my tone of voice - that’s why I started to write plays.”
In 1993, Lars Norén married Charlott Neuhauser. In 2002, they divorced. Later, in 2007, Lars married Annika Hallin, but they also divorced in 2013.
