A delayed flight. A waiting lounge. A journey none of them see coming.
A delayed flight. A waiting lounge. A journey none of them see coming.
Several passengers are waiting for their flight north in the waiting lounge of a domestic airport in Iceland. Imminent danger lurks and each and one of them stand at the edge of something momentous and disturbing in their lives. When the flight is delayed the passengers start to communicate and share their thoughts and stories. What lies there ahead of them that they do not know of? The form of the play is experimental and open and caused a great stir when performed on the main stage at the National Theatre of Iceland in 2004.

RÚV: "North features intense, tension-filled duets and magnificent arias or monologues - moments where the work reaches its peak - we discover the characters´ innermost natures, their longings and yearnings, their sense of loss and desire... and an undercurrent of dread pervades it all." "This is not a comfortable play." Morgunblaðið: "A great and significant challenge for actors and directors to find a way into this work"
