Forkbeard: A Viking Musical Odyssey is the first Viking musical set to be staged in Kuala Lumpur, and is based on the massive naval ambush, “The Battle of Svolder”, a culmination of rivalry between Denmark’s infamous Viking leader Svend Tveskaeg (Forkbeard) and Olav Tryggvasson of Norway in late summer of 1000 AD. Presented by MYTH Productions and first staged in Penang, we find out what's in store for this KL staging from the production's director, Karam Tabba, and the show's writer, producer and composer, Nancy Jenster.
