Funny. Sexy. Fierce. Unapologetic! Imagine a 10th century Viking TED Talk on what it means to be a warrior woman.

As Garrison Commander Ingrid Larsdottir comedically endeavours to engage new recruits, she inadvertently reveals her own tragic and violent personal history. Watching her struggle with her trauma is unsettling. Witnessing her tap into her inner strength is inspiring.

Ingrid’s clarion call for equality and new recruits prevails! She empowers women to reclaim the warrior archetype in our modern world.

This modern feminist story from playwright & performer Melanie Teichroeb, uses a character from the past to expose the reality that not enough has changed in the treatment of women since the time of Vikings…one thousand years ago. The show challenges untruths about women and gendered expectations, and is based on an historical character who history gaslit the hell out of.

These performances are signed for the benefit of audience members who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) interpreters usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers; in these cases we’ve marked on the seating plan where you’ll get the best view of the signer.

For some shows (like our upcoming The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child), the BSL interpreter is integrated into the performance and will move around with the performers.
