Viking Tales For Schools

Have a Viking man visit your school without the fear of maim and murder.

They came from the North, but did they come to trade or raid? In the end they brought destruction and fear to the lands of Northern England, but they left behind a legacy that lasts to this day.

I’m ecstatic to announce last night at the award c I’m ecstatic to announce last night at the award ceremony for Gothenburg Fringe Festival, my show Buckets Of Blood - Fairy Tales Not For Kids won the “Simply The Best Award, given to shows with simple set and tech. I was delighted, (as you can see on the photos, because I pride my shows on being basic but impactful. As you can see I wasn’t the only winner 😉. This Fringe has been excellent, I can’t wait to return to Gothenburg and I’ve not even left yet. Gothenburg English Studio Theatre was a beautiful venue. All the staff, volunteers and other performers have works so well to make it a welcoming and exciting fringe. @gbgfringe @gest_gbg @kurkendaal
