In this performance master-storyteller Hugh Lupton joins forces with one of Britain’s leading percussionists Rick Wilson. Bells, gongs and drums subtly and dramatically underpin the rich language of the story. Beowulf is the oldest story in the English language - and it still has the power to raise the hairs on the back of the neck. It tells of a hero’s life, a life that is mapped by three tremendous blood-curdling encounters. Alongside these adrenalin charged encounters the story explores the journey we all make from the seeming invincibility of youth to the heroic vulnerability of old ageProducer Theatre Royal Buiry St Edmunds.
