The story
In the Norse period, Auslag, daughter of the Jarl, finds herself cast out by her own community. Marjolein Robertson’s play follows her within a Shetland story that draws on both historical truth and myth, placing one woman’s exclusion against the beliefs and power structures of the islands.
In the room
The hour-long drama blends saga-like myth with historical material, using a remote island community and Norse social order as its setting.
Good fit if you like
Nordic sagas, island history, mythic storytelling and female outsiders.
