Who Stole My Hammer? is an educational and interactive introduction to Norse mythology. Can you help Myth-Fits’ Fiona and Rosie find Thor’s missing and all-powerful hammer? Enlightening for children and grown-ups alike, this simple piece of children’s theatre is sure to light up little minds.

From hearing the news with Odin’s ravens to flying with Freya (Norse goddess of love) and her magical cloak, we’re gently introduced to an array of characters that are bound to kickstart a kid’s obsession with classics. Some impressive props (including a papier-mâché ogre head, a crocheted crown and some artistically crafted wooden-spoon puppets) assist the Myth-Fits in the telling of an engaging ‘who done it’ story for the wee ones.

After a slightly slow first 15 minutes, this piece gets into the swing of things after we’ve covered our background knowledge and are ready to dive deep into the plot. The duo bounce off each other with a natural comedic chemistry. This is only enhanced by a couple of minor technical difficulties that add to the show’s light-hearted silliness. Despite a notable lack of background music and sparse use of sound affects (apart from some well-timed Thor burps), this is a delightful Fringe hour of education for all the family. 

Who Stole My Hammer?, Underbelly Bristo Square, until 28 August, 11.30am.
