About the Show

The Sagas of Snorri is a musical about the most famous medieval writer you’ve never heard of.  It’s the year 1220 and Icelandic chieftan Snorri Sturluson yearns to connect with his roots. As Iceland loses its culture war to Norway, their pagan traditions are slipping away – and with them, the practice of oral storytelling. 
Luckily for Snorri, he is visited by a fiesty Valkyrie named Mist who commands him to transcribe the legends (even when they don’t make sense!) Through original showtunes and folk ballads, the norse myths come to life onstage: A sweaty creation story, a litany of gods and goddesses, yggdrasil the magical tree of wisdom, Sleipnir the eight legged horse, and more! Perfect for fans of mythology, medieval history buffs, or anyone who likes a belty showtune.
