Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage (2020)
Three academics romp their way through mead-soaked Scandinavia. Semi-opera noise ensues. Hwæt!

Presented by San Francisco's infamous Shotgun Players and New York's infectious Banana Bag & Bodice, this SongPlay is an irreverent dissertation on art versus criticism in blood-soaked Scandinavia.
