BEOWULF - A Thousand Years Of Baggage
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.
