Iceland’s extraordinary history has been previously well documented in this blog, and as a continuation we would like to introduce you to a historical theatre production which you may find of interest on your travels to one of the most intriguing islands in the world.
‘Visions from the Past’ is a production from the Light Nights theatre company and is running in Reykjavik’s Idno Theatre which lies in one of the city’s prettiest spots, nestled just next to City Hall and the calming Lake Tjornin.
This show features a host of stories about Iceland and Reykjavik in the twentieth century, from the occupation by the British and American armies during WWII through to the Mt. Hekla eruption in 1947.
Performed entirely in English and interspersed with short films focussing on Icelandic history and culture, this performance is well worth taking in whilst you are in Reykjavik – and it is just one of a host of cultural highlights in Europe’s northernmost capital, none more impressive than the National Gallery.
'Visions from the Past' is showing every Monday and Tuesday at 8.30pm throughout August.
