BEOWULF - A Thousand Years Of Baggage

Mayfest and BBB (Banana Bag & Bodice) present award winning song-play

Mayfest returns to Old Market’s Trinity Centre following last year’s sell out hit The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart with this exhilarating song-play based on the 9th century epic poem. Direct from New York City, the Herald Angel Award-winning Beowulf – A Thousand Years of Baggage harks back to the raw and rousing style of storytelling in the old Scandinavian mead halls, turning the stage into a cacophonous swirl of original music combining Weillian cabaret, 40s jazz harmony, punk, electronica and Romantic Lieder.  We recommend advance booking for this show.

"Joyfully raucous and silly… brings out the power and the colour of the legend"

The New Yorker
