The young Swedish warrior Beowulf arrives at the court of the Danish King Hrothgar on a quest to rid the court of the swamp monster Grendel, who has been raiding the court and devouring the king's guests by night. Beowulf manages to inflict mortal injury on Grendel, but finds himself compelled to fight an even greater battle to the death.

Venue:
The Players Theatre is the studio theatre of Trinity College Dublin's student drama society, the Dublin University Players, and is situated in the Samuel Beckett Centre, in the grounds of Trinity College.
To get there: Walk in the front gate of TCD, straight through the stone hall and out into the open air behind. Walk straight ahead until you come to a lawn with buildings on three sides (New Square). Walk around the left (north) side of the lawn to the corner. Walk through the gateway at the corner between the two buildings beside the lawn. The Samuel Beckett Centre is now facing you.
Find directions from other gates here:

Enthusiasm:
Having seen Jesper and Troels performing Beowulf at the Lejre storytelling festival in Denmark three times, I recommend it without hesitation as a riotously entertaining piece of storytelling theatre.
This is world-class innovative storytelling. (That's the only reason I'm going to the bother of co-sponsoring, arranging and promoting this production.)
I'm looking forward to seeing the show again, as it has a delightful freshness every time. Come and see for yourself, and bring your friends, as they will thank you for it. In fact, bring somebody you fancy, as they will shower you with kisses afterwards. :-)
I have made a mistake in the directions I have provided above. Actually, you have got to walk past TWO squares to get to Players Theatre. Here are the correct directions:
Walk straight in through the front gate of Trinity College.
Walk east along the left (north) side of the lawn in Front Square and out between the buildings at the corner.
Keep walking east along the left (north) side of the lawn in New Square and out between the buildings at the corner.
Players Theatre is upstairs in the wood-cladded building just ahead on your left.
The Players' chief elf has now met the performers and will be busy turning the place into a meadhall with traverse seating for about 140 royal guests between now and Saturday evening.
Put a reminder in your mobile phone to catch this show. This is for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Be there.
