Jónsmessunótt- Midsummernight / premiered on 11.10.2012 ath the National Theatre of Iceland.
A brand new social comedy, full of witty and sarcastic humour. Three generations of the same family meet up at the family's summerhouse to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of the oldest couple. In a post-economic crash environment, all values are under scrutiny and the play poses the question when did the moral degeneration really begin? Was it 5 years ago, maybe 20 or even 50?
"Fantastic show that tickles your laugh and inquires the audience aggressively about the present and human nature" A.Þ. - Fréttabladið newspaper

Hjartaspaðar- Heart of Spades / premiered in Gaflaraleikhúsið Theatre on the 12th of January 2013.
It is a unique theater performance where no words are spoken and no faces revealed since it relates to the old greek tradition of wearing specially created masks.
"What better way is there to confront the ravages of old age, the reality of time and the final years of ones life than by slapping on some crazy masks and simulating group sex? Honestly, we´re stumped! This new silent play directed by Ágústa Skúladóttir and created by the ensamble flips the table on the typical depressing script that accompanies the narrative of the elderly, replacing it with ridiculousness, toilet humor, slapstick and farce. No word is spoken aloud, no human face is shown unmasked; silence and anonymity are better anyway." RL The Grapevine - January 2013
