beowulf
a thousand years of baggage

a Banana Bag & Bodice SongPlay
written by Jason Craig
music by Dave Malloy
directed by Rod Hipskind

COME CHECK US OUT IN NEW YORK CITY:

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.
