The Hall of Hrothgar is cursed. The monstrous Grendel comes to feast on those who sleep there and spread woe through the land of the Danes. Is there no one strong enough to lift the curse and kill Grendel? When the call goes out for a hero, young Beowulf, in the land of the Geats, is eager to answer.

One of the earliest and most famous examples of Anglo Saxon poetry, the tale of Beowulf has enthralled readers for hundreds of years. Quill & Inkling are delighted to return to Thorington Theatre with this epic tale of heroic deeds and vile monsters utilising movement, poetry and puppetry, as well as action packed fight sequences, to bring this great tale to life.
