Fringe Westside 2024: The Beowulf Manuscript: A Performed History

Next date: Sunday, 13 October 2024 | 04:00 PM to 05:10 PM

Dr Felix Nobis has been performing his translation of Beowulf for years to sell-out audiences around the globe.

Now, he turns his attention to the history of Beowulf itself, and how the manuscript travelled from a monastery in the eighty century to becoming the only complete story we have from Anglo-Saxon Britain.

Beowulf tells the story of a mighty Scandinavian warrior coming to the aid of a beleaguered Danish king, suffering at the hands of a blood-thirsty monster.

This is a story of loyalty, compassion, and courage which has entertained for centuries.

This journey from oral tale to cultural cornerstone illuminates the way we value stories, how we tell them, and what they mean to us.
