Winners of Fringe Festival Awards in San Francisco and Dublin and two-time "Best of Time Out New York" winners Banana Bag & Bodice bring their outlandish creative spark to Shotgun in 2008 with this new adaptation. Get ready as Beowulf is transformed into an opera with heroes, monsters, and YOU. Revenge comes swiftly to those that have sucked the passion out of this tale for generations. Do you have the courage to face Grendel? He waits for you!

Beowulf runs two hours, including an intermission.
