"Wermlänningarne" by Fredrik August Dahlgren is a folk musical play written in 1845 and premiered in 1846. Erik, a wealthy man's son, must marry a haughty woman despite loving Anna, a crofter's daughter. Their fate takes a dramatic turn after a near-drowning incident. Set against a backdrop of Swedish folk traditions, the play blends romance, comedy, and music, featuring the beloved song "Ack Värmeland, du sköna" and the humorous character Löpar-Nisse, whose antics enliven the festive conclusion.
