Romjul – pronounced “rom-yool” – is the Norwegian word for the period between Christmas and the New Year. This year it is also the title of an exciting new theatre production, developed by the Welsh drama company Theatr na n’Og in collaboration with the Norwegian Church Arts Centre and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
It tells the story of two Norwegian sisters evacuated to Cardiff during WWII, who find themselves hiding from “trolls” in the little white church in the heart of Cardiff Docks.
It features traditional Norwegian stories and folk songs, and is an educational performance aimed at schools and families. Shows will last around 45 minutes.
There are public performances in English on the following dates:
- Wednesday 3 December: 6:00pm
- Saturday 6 December: 11:30am
- Sunday 7 December: 11:30am (part of the Festival of Light celebrations)
- Wednesday 10 December: 6:00pm
- Saturday 13 December: 11:30am
- Sunday 14 December: 11:30am
Tickets are £10 each and are available to purchase, either in person at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre or online at: www.norwegianchurchcardiff.com/whats-on/
