When a thief steals the community theatre’s extravagant costumes and props just before opening night of Beowulf, they do what all good theatre folks do — they improvise! With a plastic bucket for his helmet, a mop for his sword, and a suit of mail (literally!) for his armor, Beowulf battles the ferocious monster Grendel. All the other characters, including Grendel and Grendel’s mother, are costumed in similar tongue-in-cheek fashion. Just wait till you see how the servant helps the queen with her train!
In the same vein of slapstick humor as his best-selling Entire American Revolution (in 40 Minutes or Less), Eddie McPherson hits the highlights of this epic poem in hysterical fashion! And with the bulk of the play’s lines delivered by the narrating director at a lectern, minimal rehearsal time is needed to pull off this uproarious 30-minute comedy romp!
