The Falcon Bride – Njal’s Saga retold
16:00
Beautiful, fierce and deadly, Hallgerd is not a woman to be taken lightly, ripping through husbands like a falcon through its prey. But has she met her match in Gunnar, a true Viking hero?
Katy Cawkwell tells episodes from the great Icelandic Njal’s Saga, offering a fascinating glimpse into pagan society in the land of fire and ice.
Darkly comic, tragically romantic by turns: this is the original Nordic Noir, a tale full of sex, murder, power politics and the importance of salt fish…
“Beautifully told, all the subtle shadings of character, fate and landscape, immersing us in a fully realised world.”
“I was completely swept away… my first storytelling experience and I was captivated!”
