Aud the Deep Minded

A psychological drama imagining the inner world of Aud the Deep Minded, a Christian Viking and conflicted yet brilliant female leader in 9th century Scotland. Inspired by fragments of unreliably documented history, and reframed in the present, this piece explores her transformatory journey from oppressed to oppressor to liberator.
