3 Male 1 Female

Beowulf (and the Bard) is a fun, frenetic and freewheeling farce that updates the Old English poem about the warrior Beowulf, who must rescue the mead hall from a hideous ogre, (and his even more hideous mother)

Told through the eyes of the epic’s writer - a character known simply as “the bard” - the comedy’s events unfold much differently than the familiar story passed down through the ages

In reality, Beowulf is an out-of-shape prince hoping to fulfill the heroic code, while the bard is a desperate poet struggling with a nasty case of writer’s block

This retelling also introduces a new female character - the bloodthirsty warrior princess Gunborg, whose quest to reach her heroic destiny is ignored by her overprotective father, the king

Beowulf (and the Bard) is a comedy about friendship, duty and what it means to be a hero
