In a mesmerizing one-man show sung in authentic Old English and performed on a traditional Anglo-Saxon harp, Benjamin Bagby relays the epic poem of Beowulf, the story of a young hero who battles a monster named Grendel and, after slaying him, takes on the monster's vengeful mother. Under the direction of award-winning Swedish filmmaker Stellan Olsson, the raw excitement of this 1,000-year-old tale springs to life like never before.
