VIKINGS are known for their strength, resolve and willpower. Not surprisingly, similar perseverance is modelled by the cast and crew of Forkbeard: A Viking Musical Odyssey, which is finally being staged in Kuala Lumpur after a three-year postponement.

Vikings are taking to the KLPac stage from Oct 27-29 thanks to the hard work of Dr Nancy P. Jenster, the writer and producer of this show. The plot and characters are based on the legendary Battle of Svolder in 1,000AD that has been recounted over and over in Nordic countries.
