Theatre for the whole family

A play performed by children, young people and adults from Klaksvík Amateur Theatre. A magical performance suitable for the whole family.

The play is about Sørin, a brave young boy. He is afraid of neither elves nor trolls, but reading is not his strong point – he cannot tell the letter “S” from “K”.

Sørin's favourite thing is helping the village blacksmith, so he decides to become his apprentice. There, he also gets to meet Hanna, who has such beautiful hair and lovely eyes.

Sørin dreams of becoming the world's best locksmith.

One day, the key to the King's treasure chamber goes missing, and a new one must be made. Sørin, the blacksmith's apprentice from Trongugøta, is asked to make a new key. But unfortunately, the keyhole is enchanted!

The Enchanted Keyhole (Det forheksede nøglehul) by Bente Koch. Published in Faroese by Føroya Lærarafelag.
