Charles Court Opera’s legendary boutique panto returns. This famous Early Medieval epic tale gets a wickedly entertaining CCO makeover in a fiery adventure like no other.

Join Beowulf, Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and a maelstrom of other characters, in this unmissable panto, packed with mammoth musical numbers, and led by a colossally talented cast.

​
The cast includes CCO panto regulars Matthew Kellett as Beowulf, with Philip Lee as Grendel, Jennie Jacobs as Grendel's Mother, Emily Cairns as Wiglaff & introducing Julia Mariko Smith as Princess Hrothmund, with Kirsty McLean as our swing. For more information on our brilliant cast click HERE.
Written and Directed by John Savournin; Music, Lyrics, Musical Direction and Sound Design by David Eaton; Designed by Stewart J Charlesworth with Associate Designer Elizabeth Greengrass; Lighting Design by Jo Palmer; and Choreography by David Hulston. 

Producer for Charles Court Opera Catherine Chibnall, Stage Manager Octavia Penes, Assistant Stage Manager Paris Wu, Production Managers John Page & Ryan Pantling.
★★★★ “A show that is as subversive as it is entertaining, the singing is so good it does make one wonder if the production has escaped from a major opera house only to re-emerge in a small, dark pub theatre!" - Spy in the Stalls

★★★★ ½ "A magnificent cast, excellent direction and glorious music in this beautifully romantic and hilariously saucy panto (with knobs on) which does not neglect the expected tropes" - London Pub Theatres

★★★★ “If you’re looking to see a pantomime that not only surpasses your expectation, but sets a higher bar, then this is not one to miss!” - London Theatre Scene

★★★★ “Whatever kind of Christmas we are ultimately permitted, this panto should be on your agenda. In the words of the song, you will ‘Party like it’s 600 AD.” - Plays to See

★★★★ Charles Court Opera always offers a fun-filled, high energy Christmas spoof, and Beowulf meets the high standard that the troupe sets for itself. We highly recommend you join the quest!" - London Living Large

★★★★ "A medieval romp with more than a few surprises up its sleeve... high camp frivolity, some terrible jokes, and a villain that we all love to hate. Stewart J Charlesworth’s costumes and Jo Palmer’s lighting bring a touch of the West End to this beloved fringe venue." - Theatre Weekly
