Beowulf Disarming At A.R.T.
Grendel, His Mom and King Hrothgar Sing At Oberon
By: - Apr 17th, 2013Transforming the Oberon into a cabaret/21st century mead hall, this very lyrical if not poetic version of the retelling of the Old English epic poem uses song, silliness and a great band to tell a story that we all mostly skimmed when we were assigned it in school. Grendel, his mother and Beowulf sing, dance, strut and fight their way through a poem that has been told for at least 1000 years. Using raw and rowdy songplay and featuring original music that combines Weimar cabaret, 40’s jazz harmony, punk, electronica and Romantic Lieder, the instrumentation and voices are marvelous. It isn't your English teacher's version of the epic.
