Synopsis:
At the close of the first millennium, on the fringes of the Arctic Circle, an old lie has slept for years. When visitors from the past enter the twilight, winter world of Helgeland, the lie wakes with the fury of a great white bear - and havoc follows after. Firstborn Theatre are proud to present the lifetime premiere of Ibsen's tragic homage to his homeland. Woven from Scandinavian family sagas, and set in 10th century Norway, Helgeland fuses Shakespearean tragedy with domestic drama, wound around the confined, furious passions of Hjordis - Ibsen's earlier, wilder Hedda Gabler. This unique play fuses Ibsen's mastery of psychological detail and social critique with the bravado plot and larger-than-life characterizations you'd expect from an episode of Game of Thrones.
