| Description |
Half-lecture, half raucous mead-hall romp, BBB (Banana Bag & Bodice) defends the epic ninth century poem 'Beowulf' through hilarious storytelling and rowdy debate. As battles rage in the aisles (and at the bar) the audience is plunged into a unique theatre experience fuelled by an explosive seven-piece band. Weillian cabaret, '40s jazz harmony, punk and electronica whip all who brave the award-winning chaos into a fierce, cacophonous swirl |
