Elfar Logi HANNESSON

Elfar Logi is the founder and the only actor of the Comedytheatre. the first and only professional theatre in the Westfjords, founded in 1997. The theatre has hosted 45plays, which usually reflect the history of the Westfjords in one way or another.

The Comedytheatre has focused on solo performances that have attracted considerable attention, both locally and abroad. The first solo play was Act Without Words by Samuel Beckett, which was staged in 2001. Since then, all our productions have been originals.

Other solo plays include Gísli Súrsson (2005), Pétur and Einar (2008), Jón Sigurðsson – Boy from the West (2011), Eyvindur of the Mountains (2013), Grettir (2015), Gísli from Uppsalir (2017) and Dimmalimm (2019). Two of the last named were performed in The National Theatre of Iceland in Reykjavík. 

The most popular plays are Gísli Súrsson and Grettir, both of whom are based on famous Icelandic sagas. They are both available in English. Those Icelandic saga plays have been performed in many countries, including Albania, Canada, Germany, Luxemburg, Norway and Spain. Gísli Súrsson has twice won awarded at international theatre festivals.
