VIKING was first performed at Underbelly Bristo Square, Edinburgh on the 5th August 2019. It is currently available for touring: if you were interested, then please email intrepidfools@gmail.com.

VIKING was a family musical performed in Edinburgh in 2019. It followed the story of young Viking misfit Ragnarr Ragnarrson on his quest to take up his mantle and become the village's next Skald -  a Viking storyteller - and an unlikely friendship with a bear called Bear. Together, Ragnarr and Bear must find the Storymead, all while evading Bjorn Babbinson and his gang of bounty hunters.

The production considered the importance of friendship, the value of storytelling and the destructive nature of greed. It used a storytelling performance style alongside songs performed live and narration.

I have directed a number of SHORT PLAYS for scratch and short night plays. I am really interested in the potential for this shorter form, and have had the pleasure of working with writers who write rich, complex and interesting texts. Francis Grin's THE ETHICALS was a consideration of the privileges which allow individuals to lead 'ethical' lives, and the exclusion of working class voices from the discussion surrounding the climate crisis. Molly Sweeney's HELLO, WHAT YEAR IS IT? mediated the role and place of love in times of intense political crisis, offering a beacon of hope that personal relationships can rise above politics.
