The Vikings are coming!

After almost 1,000 years of peace, Viking hoards are again amassing their forces for a show of strength in mid Devon.

But locals don’t need to be too alarmed, the Norsemen and women have an unlikely mission, the quest to find Thor’s hammer!

Silverton’s drama troupe, the Silverton Luvvies, is sharpening battle axes and honing their hammers up for a new musical saga – Norse by South West, or How Thor Lost his Hammer. 

The play, as with all of the Silverton Luvvie’s productions, is an original work written by director Portia Smith and cast members and promises plenty of action, laughs and raucous songs.

“Our Norse saga promises to be fast-paced tale of friendlyish Vikings, intrigue, memorable songs and hammers! ” said Portia Smith director of the Luvvies.

“We have worked hard to be as authentic as possible to Viking dress, weapons, mythology and history. This performance is great fun and families will thoroughly enjoy themselves.”

The play is suitable for families, although, with Vikings, you never know what they might get up to!

Tickets are £6 per adult and £2 per child. Curtain is up at 7.30, and the play runs for about 1.5 hours (including intervals). Tickets are available from Silverton Spar, by calling Carrie Martin on 01392 860 670 and there will be limited tickets available on the door. There is also a bar for pre and during show drinks.
