Viking Mama

Overview

Who hasn't faced an ordinary but rather annoying problem — dealing with your neighbours or planning for a party, perhaps — and dreamed of how different things must have been years, decades and even centuries ago? We all have, but most of us haven't taken those historical fantasies and turned them into a one-woman show.

Jenny Wynter's Viking Mama isn't just about catharsis, but about comedy and cabaret as well. In fact, it's an amusing rock opera that has been hyped by both Frank Woodley and Katie Noonan. Yes, it is safe to say it has both the amusing and the musical side of things covered.

Just don't go in expecting anything like TV's Vikings, i.e. the television program about power grabs, feuding warriors and family squabbles that doesn't feature dragons. Instead, you'll explore a day in the life of a mother coping with the usual ups and downs, because vikings had to deal with everyday troubles and struggles, too.
