The year is 2020. It is the future where we were expecting flying cars, cities on the sea floor and a colony on Mars. But since it’s not quite over and while you wait, the boys in the Dúndurfréttir plan to play classic rock music of the past. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Kansas, Queen, The Beatles and more.

Stórskemmtilegur fjölskyldusöngleikur frá Leikhópnum Lottu Leikhópurinn Lotta er landsmönnum að góðu kunnur en hópurinn hefur frá árinu 2007 ferðast með sýningar sínar um landið þvert og endilangt. Lotta, sem hefur sérhæft sig í sýningum utandyra, er nú þriðja veturinn í röð komin inn í hlýjuna til okkar í Tjarnarbíó. Hópurinn setti Hans Klaufa fyrst upp árið 2010, en nú tíu árum síðar verður rykið dustað af þessu skemmtilega verki og fært nýjum og gömlum áhorfendum í glænýjum búningi. Verkið hefur verið endurskrifað að stórum hluta og þó að sömu skemmtilegu persónurnar prýði það eins og fyrir tíu árum síðan, hefur nýjum ævintýrum og glænýjum lögum verið bætt við söguna. Þessi útgáfa af Hans klaufa er í raun alveg ný saga sem ekki er hægt að finna í gömlu ævintýrunum, þó vissulega beri hún þekkt nafn. Verkið er sannkölluð ævintýrablanda sem sækir mikið af efniviði sínum í sígildu ævintýrin okkar. Þannig munum við kynnast Öskubusku, stjúpsystrum hennar og prinsi sem breytt verður í frosk. Við munum stinga okkur á snældu, reyna að sofna með eina litla baun undir 100 ábreiðum og standa í háum turni og láta okkur vaxa hár sem nær alla leið niður á jörðina. Síðast en ekki síst […]
