A father tells his son a story in an effort to connect and convey something very, very important. He chooses as his vehicle the great epic of Beowulf – fierce warrior and slayer of dragons. As the boy is sucked in, bit by bit, his father reveals the deeper life lesson he wants his son to understand. In turn endearing, hilarious, and poignant, master physical storyteller Bryan Burroughs draws you into a world full of vibrant characters. A wonderfully loving portrayal of a father son relationship, ultimately it’s a story about being human.

VOYAGE FESTIVAL
VOYAGE is an exciting new initiative unique to the Civic where we will regularly invite you to dive deep and lovingly into a feast of experiences that takes you there and back again. We have brought together under one roof and for one week only, three of Ireland’s finest self-made productions. You can enjoy them one by one or in one exciting action packed day. There’s a host of post show talks and workshops planned to make this a week long adventure not to be missed. So come on board and VOYAGE with us.
