City Theatre Reykjavík

Despite it’s small stature, Iceland is packed with theatres and performance venues. The Reykjavik City Theatre, which opened in 1989, is a great example of this. Showcasing work from predominantly modern playwrights and authors, featuring young artists interested in dealing with hot topics and more challenging issues, the Reykjavik City Theatre offers visitors an edgy alternative to the more traditional works on offer at the Icelandic National Theatre. That being said, the theatre still showcases a number of classical plays annually, providing a well-rounded programme of performances.
