Sýslumaður Dauðans (e. the magistrate of death) is my first full length play. It is pending translation.  

The play is a far fetched reworking of the myth of Orfeo, a surrealist drama comedy set in the world of startup and paperwork, where Ævar, after having completed three tasks of grief that include a talk show, an interrogation and an encounter with a blind mole of memories, tries to negotiate a new long term life-lease for his recently passed away father at the offices of death.
