ABOUT THE SHOW
In the mystical realm of Asgard, we meet a young Loki and Thor. There is a series of events leading to a growing rivalry between the brothers, and their sister does not help matters! Amidst their sibling squabbles, Asgard faces an imminent threat from an ancient enemy as Loki and Thor confront the enemy, they realize that their unique strengths compliment each other. They learn the importance of embracing their differences and working together for the greater good.
Legends of Asgard: Sibling Rivalry is a coming of age tale that explores themes of family, identity, and the power of unity.
A NOTE FROM DIRECTOR, MANDY TULLOCH
I am thrilled to bring Legends of Asgard to the stage. It is such a fun journey. There are soooo many stories to be told, it was hard to fit it into an hour! Since my Grandmother was Norwegian I have a special place in my heart for the Norse stories. I do believe that when we experience live theatre with all the sounds and sights right in front of us, it can spark imagination and joy. So please sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
