Fagra veröld (Beautiful World) is a poetic, entertaining play by Karl Ágúst Úlfsson based on the poems of Tómas Guðmundsson, which premiered at Reykjavík City Theatre on the 100th anniversary of the Reykjavík Theatre Company in 1997. The piece is a love song to Reykjavík and life in the city, in which Tómas’s poems come alive through acting, song and music. Through colourful characters, humour and romance, the Reykjavík of earlier times appears – a city of poets, lovers and everyday adventures. The production combined poetry, theatre and music, including music by Gunnar Reynir Sveinsson, in an enchanting portrait of Reykjavík and the spirit that lives in Tómas Guðmundsson’s writing. María played the charming Reykjavík lady Fanney.
