A COMEDY drama about a 10th century Icelandic hardman will be premiered at a York venue as part of this month’s Jorvik Viking Festival.
Egil Skallagrimsson Keeps His Head has been written and will be performed at the National Centre For Early Music, off Walmgate, by North Country Theatre on February 17 and 18.
The high seas adventure tells the part-historical and part-mythical saga of Egil Skallagrimsson and how he falls into the hands of his old Viking enemy Erik Bloodaxe.
Performances take place at 2pm and 7.15pm on both dates. Tickets cost £6 for the 2pm shows and £12 for the 7.15pm performances. Pre-booking is essential. Phone 01904 557208.
