A drama suitable for all ages based on the classical 10th century poem Beowulf and featuring passages of the translated poem itself.

This is an action drama based around Saxon and Norse / Viking mythology.

A chieftains magnificent royal hall in Denmark is ravaged by a newly woken creature of the night and Beowulf a warrior hero alongside his band

travel to the hall to destroy the creature. He is successful although encountering two such creatures instead of only the one before travelling back to his homelands where war and strife between clans eventually lead to him being crowned King. But there are other creatures that dwell in the dark places. An escaped slave stealing a golden cup awakes the dragon and once again Beowulf is called upon to defend the people....

Staged with drama action and larger than life puppetry this is an all-new retelling of the drama by an awardwinning theatre company from Torbay.
