THEATRE Critically acclaimed show ‘Beowulf: The Blockbuster’ to be staged at the Linenhall Arts Centre next month
'EPIC' Bryan Burroughs stars in ‘Beowulf: The Blockbuster’.
The critically acclaimed one-man show ‘Beowulf: The Blockbuster’ will be staged at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar on Monday, December 5 at 8pm.
Written and performed by Bryan Burroughs, and the recipient of more five-star reviews than you could ever wish for, ‘Beowulf: The Blockbuster’ emerged as the show to see at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
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. A one-man show with an utterly compelling and charismatic performance from multi-award-winning actor Bryan Burroughs, 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. Reviewers have raved about the play, with the Sunday Times saying “Tragic. Funny. EPIC. Don’t miss it”, The Irish Times writing “No props, gimmicks or special effects - just brilliant theatre”, The New York Times gushing “Phantasmagoric… dazzling” and The Stage describing Bryan Burroughs’s acting as “virtuoso physical performance”.
