Beowulf: The Blockbuster

Written and performed by Bryan Burroughs

Developed and directed by David Horan.

With more 5 star reviews than you could ever wish for, sold-out shows, and an ‘Acting Excellence’ award, Beowulf: The Blockbuster emerged as the number one show to see at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world’s largest arts festival.

Gripping, witty, poignant and vastly entertaining, this triumph of a play reminds us that life is not about how we die, but about how we live.

An utterly compelling and charismatic performance from multi award-winning actor, this ripping script combines humour, empathy and raw emotion to give genuine goosebumps.

A father’s final chance to connect with his son, this is a remarkable and unforgettable experience filled with heartbreaking emotional depth. You’ll be talking about this long after you leave the theatre – book now before it sells out.
