Beowulf: A Play About Stories
Theatre
Event organiser:
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?"
