The Saga Of Burnt Njal [Drama On 3]

Hattie Naylor's adaptation of Iceland's most famous saga with an introduction by saga specialist, Dr BrynjaThorgeirsdottir.

Drawing upon the oral storytelling tradition to conjure up the bleak but savage beauty of Medieval Iceland, it tells the epic tale of two rival families, a long-running blood feud and its tragic outcome.

Five storytellers gather. This troupe is made up of renegades, outlaws and outsiders who live on the edges of society. They see this as an opportunity to engage and pass judgement on a world that chooses not to see them.
