Brighton Fringe Festival Presents RAGNAROK: THE WEIRD OF THE GODS, May 5-6 & 26-27

This year's Brighton Fringe Festival will see the launch of an entirely new Brighton-based theatre company, Theatre of the Preposterous, who will present an epic tale, RAGNAROK: THE WEIRD OF THE GODS.

RAGNAROK: THE WEIRD OF THE GODS is the story of the End of the World according to Norse Mythology. The Norse gods permeate our lives more than most of us realise – they gave their names to four of our seven days of the week, they have influenced Christianity, they have spawned operas and comic strips and films. And their tale of how everything is going to end is one of the most incredible, heart-wrenching, action-packed stories ever told.

RAGNAROK: THE WEIRD OF THE GODS is a solo musical comedy, written and performed by John Hinton, whose previous show, The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection or the Survival of (R)Evolutionary Theories in the face of Scientific and Ecclesiastical Objections: being a Musical Comedy about Charles Darwin (1809-1882), has been a international hit, playing to sell-out crowds at Edinburgh Fringe (2009), Brighton Fringe (2010), Adelaide Fringe (2012) and on tour round the UK and Europe. 

RAGNAROK: THE WEIRD OF THE GODS has themes of family bonds, revenge and environmental damage, told through a combination of physical theatre and Hinton's characteristic comic folk pop music (he is lead singer-songwriter of local band Spalien Acecraft).

Performances are Upstairs at Three and Ten, on the 5th, 6th, 26th and 27th May 2012, at 3pm.
Tickets cost £9 / £7.50 / £5.
