Beowulf: An epic pantomime
First performances:  Rosemary Branch Theatre, December 2011 - January 2012

Charles Court Opera's legendary annual boutique panto scales new heights of sublime silliness in it's fifth year as the most scholarly epic of Anglo-Saxon literature is given a wickedly entertaining Christmas makeover - the most epic show you'll see this season, packed into the 57 seat theatre.  Join Beowulf, along with Grendel, Grendel's mother, his sidekick Wiglaff, King Hrothgar and a bladderful of other characters is a maelstrom of bad jokes, great music, excruciating audience participation and downright dangerous dough dodging.

Director:  John Savournin             Musical Director:  James Young
Set Design:  James Perkins           Costume:  Martina Trottmann      Lighting:  Nic Holdridge
