Synopsis

Based on one of the most famous pieces of literature of all time, Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage is a raucous rock ’n’ roll re-telling of the blood-soaked Old English poem.

To music by Dave Malloy, the swaggering hero Beowulf defends the great hall of Heorot against the monster Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and a fire-breathing dragon… as a panel of academics overanalyzes his every move.
