Coming in 2026!

A Premiere

The Five Lives of Gudrun O, a feminist tale from the Viking age.

At 15, Gudrun O dreamed four times about the trauma her future marriages would bring. But beside the rage, grief, and betrayal hinted at, something noble seemed promised by the fourth dream. But as the new age appeared, she found new reason to live by the ancient wisdom her foremothers had passed down to her.

Based on characters and incidents in the Icelandic Laxdæla Saga, this new play takes us back to the 10th and 11th centuries, when Norse customs were being challenged by new ones based on medieval Christianity. Old customs do not surrender quickly. Nor do converts adopt new practices unfailingly. This play shows how Gudrun was caught up in this transitional time and shaped by it.

Performances are planned for September 11–13 and 18–20, 2026. Venue to be announced shortly.
