A fun-filled, freewheeling comedy that “updates” the Old English epic about the warrior Beowulf, the first-ever Superhero. This story is told through the eyes of the epic’s writer, the Bard, with a bad case of writer’s block. The events unfold just a bit differently than the original story, as a reluctant and out-of-shape Beowulf is being asked to save his new friends from a hideous beast, Grendel, that has been terrorizing Heorot, the mead hall and eating all the warriors. What’s a hero to do? Yes, there will be swords! Yes, there will be ogres! And, YES, there will be men in tights! Too Much Fun!
