About
Henrik Abrahamsen's debut play, In His Own Shadow, premiered at the Hudson Theatres in Los Angeles in 2026. He is currently developing new work for production in Los Angeles.
He writes in a Romantic-Realist style: tightly plotted, high-stakes stories driven by secrets and moral pressure. He believes drama should entertain and matter.
Selected Work
A dystopian drama in which a passionate artist makes himself the scapegoat for a crime to save the woman he loves.
A composer and a silent patient at a coastal Maine hospital, and the price of the music he means to take.
A young woman whose fear of being seen keeps her from the boy who fell in love with her voice — until she finds her courage a moment too late.
A struggling novelist is offered the publishing deal of a lifetime — if he will strip the idealism out of the book at its heart.
Full scripts available to read on request.
