Beowulf Puppet Show

  • Rochester Cathedral England, ME1 1SJ United Kingdom (map)

Be captivated by Beowulf in the beautiful gardens of Rochester Cathedral

Rattlebox Theatre presents part of the famous Anglo-Saxon epic ‘BEOWULF’ in this small but perfectly formed adaption! This show employs engaging storytelling, combined with clever puppetry; using many beautifully made puppets, sets and props. The performance is accompanied by early music maestro Steve Tyler- creating an evocative live soundtrack playing instruments including Anglo- Saxon lyre, hurdy gurdy, harp and percussion.

Suitable for 7 years to adult.

(WARNING- contains some scenes of graphic puppet violence)

A gripping retelling of Beowulf in painstakingly created miniature. My daughter, who is as unimpressed with swords and sorcery as it is humanly possible to be, was as awestruck as I by this presentation.
