DARK tales of dragons’ hoards, cursed gold rings and broken hearts will be re-lived at the city’s Dean Court Hotel when colourful, York storyteller, Adrian Spendlow, brings his own lively style to the re-telling of the legend of Andvari, the corrupted Norse creature who Adrian tells us may well have inspired Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.
“I have drawn directly upon the myths as collected in the Viking Edda and although I have respectfully honoured them, I have also created anew, in my own unique, animated style, to bring them alive,” said Adrian.
“This is quite an epic performance and I think it is the sole representation of the Viking myths within the Jorvik Festival programme. I am thrilled that such a prestigious venue as the DCH has joined forces with this exciting festival to present my latest event.”
Adrian also tells the story on a double CD, which will be launched and on sale at the event
