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 new SongPlay is an irreverent dissertation
on art versus criticism in blood soaked Scandinavia!
Beowulf runs two hours, including an intermission.
