Grown-up fairytales at Northern Stage.

In 2000, Nick Hennessy entered the world championship of epic-singing in Espoo near Helsinki, performing the Kavevala (the Finnish national epic) to the Finns, in English, and he won!

Somewhere in the northern forests of Finland you pass from a world of midnight sun, into a mythic landscape created from shards of eggshell, taken from a nest balanced on the knee of a deity mistaken for an island in an ocean. One of these worlds is real... but which one?

Beautifully merging myth, epic and fairytale, Nick delivers us from Northern Stage to the dark, snow-swathed, Finnish far-North - here the sun and moon are fought over, magic is done and undone, and life is shot through with bizarre ordeals, misguided passions, magical battles and transformations.

Expect a remarkable performance of elemental epic..
