Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage(2020)
OVERVIEW
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.
TAGLINE:
Three academics romp their way through mead-soaked Scandinavia. Semi-opera noise ensues. Hwæt!
