Beowulf – A Thousand Years Of Baggage @ the RODA

For all you loyal WUNY readers out there, we here at Whats Up NYC have acquired a couple pairs of tickets to the new play Beowulf – A Thousand Years Of Baggage and want to give them to you! It is going to be an amazing show, so be sure to enter for your chance at the free tixs! All we need is your name and home address. Good Luck!

Beowulf – A Thousand Years Of Baggage examines not only the events of the poem itself (heroes, monsters, retaliation, underwater battles, horses, swords) but also academia and the history of criticism that has sustained and stifled the poem for years. At the heart of the piece is the question of how art survives criticism, as the character Beowulf attempts to reclaim the purity of his tale. The production includes a cast of seven actors- monsters, academics, warriors, kings and dancing ladies- and an eight piece orchestra including viola, bass clarinet, two trombones, harmonicas, guitar, piano, accordion, upright bass, percussion and saw. This experience incorporates 40 box fans, 5 fish tanks and a wrestling ring!
