Treadlight Theatre

Four storytellers. One ancient tale.  A thousand interpretations. 

Journey back to a world of monsters, kings and dragons, and fate...but don't expect a quiet night of poetry and hero worship. In this thrilling, darkly comic retelling, Beowulf becomes the battleground for four clashing voices.
the Sage, who reveres the tale;
the Ardent, who worships its hero;
the Pup, who questions everything;
and the Ghoul, who just wants the gory bits.

Together, they wrestle with an epic that has shaped generations. But whose version will you believe?

Whether you're a seasoned theatre-goer or someone who just loves a cracking good yarn, Beowulf is for you. Expect fierce debate, lyrical battles and even a DRAGON. This is theatre for anyone who's ever asked  "What makes a story worth telling?"

Original. Provovative. Playful.

Step into the firelight. Hear the tale. And decide for yourself.
