Gísli Súrsson will be in Reykjavik 2019

The award-winning Icelandic saga theatre play Gísli Súrsson will be performed in English in Tjarnarbio Reykjavik. 

The play Gísli Súrsson is based on the great Icelandic saga, The Saga of Gísli Súrsson, which is one of the most famous and popular of all the sagas. Gísli Súrsson was a great Icelandic Viking that came from Norway at a young age and moved to Haukadalur in the Westfjords of Iceland. Everything is peaceful there to begin with, but that peace will not last. As the story unfolds that peace is shattered and a time of great unrest follows.
