'JORVIK' is an interactive, immersive play - inspired by the Viking sagas and the great tradition of communal storytelling. Expect celebration, song, combat, larger than life characters and plenty of toasting!

 

Fun, fierce and with a lot of heart - ‘JORVIK’ is a piece of new writing that explores the modern day through the Viking lens. We aren’t as different from our ancestors as we think. Our desires - while modern at a glance - are deeply rooted in the same human condition: the obsession with glory, fate, and the need to be remembered. ‘JORVIK’ explores the idea of legacy, loss, glory and family. Jorvik serves as a reminder that we need to enjoy life whilst we are still around to do so, and to cherish those we hold dear.

 

First performed in the heart of York - at the historic Viking Festival, ‘JORVIK’ now makes its North East debut at 'The Alphabetti'.
