like acting is a chore, but [Norseplay] is acted with pure fun and yes
even joy. See this and laugh..." "This show provided an entertaining crash course in Norse mythos." "A smart, cool, creative concept...it's groovy, and I guarantee
it'll get you thinking about theatre in a new way." "...it's an embarrassment of riches...the commitment to the process
of this bunch is everywhere evident." Script Information

Wine! Women! And nanny goats! A raunchy celebration of divine hedonism! It's like the Ring Cycle, performed by the Marx Brothers. On acid. Norseplay is based on the Eddas, a collection of Icelandic poetry that is by turns both profane and profound. Several of the more farcical exploits of Loki, the god of mischief and a fast-talking con man, are here spun into bawdy slapstick entertainment in the giddy and grotesque spirit of the burlesque show. WARNING: This show contains lethal doses of mature language and immature humor. So kids, don't tell your parents. Parents, don't tell your kids. |
