The Icelandic folklore is rich and colourful and the Icelandic Sagas are regarded as one of the world's greatest literature.

For centuries — all the way back to the 13th century — a special entertainment called "Kvöldvaka" was held at every farmstead during the cold winter nights. People would gather in the living room and one person in the family told stories or read from the Sagas and sometimes there would be chanting of old rhymes and verses. Those evening entertainments at home created a special atmosphere that brought people together; they were drawn into an imaginary world of wonders, far away from the reality of every day work and worries.

In the 2012 production of Light Nights, you will get a glimpse into this bygone world as Kristín weaves together folk-tales, amusing events from Icelandic history, and one very memorable ghost story. You will get an authentic "Kvöldvaka" atmosphere which you will remember for a very long time.

The Travelling Theatre, a professional theatre company, was formed in Reykjavík, Iceland, in 1965 by Kristín G. Magnús and Halldór Snorrason — which Kristín still runs after 45 years. The company has presented productions as varied as Drama, Comedy, Physical Theatre, Improvisation, Story Telling, Children Plays, and Musical. We have presented new plays by Icelandic playwrights at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Scotland and in London, England.

Since 1970 we have presented, in English, a series of productions under the name of LIGHT NIGHTS. A new production is presented every summer in Reykjavík and LIGHT NIGHTS productions have also toured the US. Kristín G. Magnús has been the leading actress of LIGHT NIGHTS since the show started.

The Travelling Theatre has the longest run of any theatre company in entertaining the foreign visitor in Iceland.
