Jenny Wynter: Viking Mama!

Overview

Parenting can be difficult at the best of times — so imagine what it was like in the tenth century. Viking Mama! is the new narrative comedy from Brisbane-based performer Jenny Wynter, and follows a Viking named Jenny (naturally) as she attempts to plan a birthday party for her three-year-old son, played by a head of lettuce (of course). Complete with a Greek chorus of Valkyries and a bearded lady on keyboard, Wynter's show explores the perils of parenthood, and shapes up as one of the most intriguingly odd options on the Melbourne Cabaret Festival program.
