Egil, Son Of the Night Wolf

Egil, Son Of the Night Wolf
the idea of the setting of this play is that it takes place at a ting, a viking parliament or meeting, where the problems of the day were sorted out or at least discussed. As this play is taken from an Icelandic saga that would originally have been spoken or told, the idea is that this is what is happening, so the actors have to understand that they are addressing the audience and not necessarily each other, but at some points they will have to do this, obviously. A lot of the action takes place at sea and a lot of it takes place on the hoof. these people very rarely stood still. - author introduction

Notes:
An interpretation of the classic Icelandic egilssaga
