…like the day he was almost married to an oafish giant. Or when he thought he was shortchanged as golden treasures were handed out. And then there was the time he had to be rescued by his own son, Magni, who was only three days old!
These ancient Nordic tales are brought to you by Ulf and Odd, two skalds, or storytellers, in a comedic romp through the life and times of the Viking gods.
Rattlebox and Angel Heart Theatre present this family show with their usual flair for skilfully blending puppetry, storytelling and larger-than-life characters into a performance full of wonder and delight! SKÅL!
In the intimate and atmospheric setting of a Saxon meadhall on a spring evening, you’ll be treated to engaging storytelling combined with clever puppetry; using many beautifully made puppets, sets and props, the performance retains the spirit of the original stories, whilst making it accessible to both adults and children alike (ages 7 years and up).
There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.
“What an incredible show for myself and my two kids. Thoroughly engaging, exciting, funny, and educational, with Viking 'factoids' scattered throughout. Absolutely gorgeous hand carved puppets. The set created such and inviting scene too, we all gathered around in anticipation. We loved being able to come up and meet the puppets and puppeteers afterwards. Just brilliant!” - audience member at Green Scythe Fair
