Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage
2020
9.5 (2)
1 hr 37 min
Three academics romp their way through mead-soaked Scandinavia. Semi-opera noise ensues. Hwæt!
Flawed heroes, sympathetic monsters and haughty professors collide as this hefty poem is rescued from the grasp of 1,000 years of highbrow analysis and transformed into a defiantly raucous musical. Presented by San Francisco's infamous Shotgun Players and New York's infectious Banana Bag & Bodice, this SongPlay is an irreverent dissertation on art versus criticism in blood-soaked Scandinavia.
