For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Storytelling theatre: Beowulf at the Players Theatre on 20 October 2007

Forget what storytellng was, and find out what it might be!

Award-winning Danish theatre company The Telling Theatre performs their high-energy adaptation of Beowulf.
Followed by a discussion with the performers.
The show will start at 8 pm sharp and last 70 minutes.
Tickets EUR 7. Concessions EUR 3.50

Award-winning Danish theatre company The Telling Theatre will perform their adaptation of Beowulf, at the Players Theatre at 8 pm on 20 October 2007. The show will be followed by a discussion with the performers.

The Telling Theatre was founded in 1996 by Jesper la Cour Andersen, with the objective of "exploring the meeting point between theatre and its origins in storytelling." Jesper is accompanied by Troels Kirk Ejsing in this high-energy version of the old English saga, using expressive physical and vocal acting, mime, music and direct communication to spur the imagination of the audience.

The duo have toured widely with Beowulf, both in Denmark and overseas as far as the Yukon International Storytelling Festival.

(Scroll down to see Beowulf poster.)

Beowulf is sponsored by the School of English at Trinity College, the Dublin University Players, the Narrative Arts Club and the Embassy of Denmark.

With this production, the Narrative Arts Club would like to invite Irish performers and listeners to new ways of thinking about storytelling, in accordance with the club's motto: "Forget what storytelling was, and find out what it might be."

The "storytelling theatre" concept offers an exciting opportunity for the much-neglected art of storytelling to compete with the other urban arts, such as the conventional theatre, stand-up comedy and the cinema, for the attentions of savvy young urbanites at prime city-centre venues.

Jesper and Troels will be available for interview in Dublin on the afternoon of Saturday 13 October. Telephone interviews may also be arranged, subject to availability.

Contact Coilín for further information: 086 060 3818.

I have made a mistake in the directions I have provided above. Actually, you have got to walk past TWO squares to get to Players Theatre. Here are the correct directions:
Walk straight in through the front gate of Trinity College.
Walk east along the left (north) side of the lawn in Front Square and out between the buildings at the corner.
Keep walking east along the left (north) side of the lawn in New Square and out between the buildings at the corner.
Players Theatre is upstairs in the wood-cladded building just ahead on your left.

The Players' chief elf has now met the performers and will be busy turning the place into a meadhall with traverse seating for about 140 royal guests between now and Saturday evening.

Put a reminder in your mobile phone to catch this show. This is for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Be there.

Plot summary:
The young Swedish warrior Beowulf arrives at the court of the Danish King Hrothgar on a quest to rid the court of the swamp monster Grendel, who has been raiding the court and devouring the king's guests by night. Beowulf manages to inflict mortal injury on Grendel, but finds himself compelled to fight an even greater battle to the death.

...

Venue:
The Players Theatre is the studio theatre of Trinity College Dublin's student drama society, the Dublin University Players, and is situated in the Samuel Beckett Centre, in the grounds of Trinity College.

To get there: Walk in the front gate of TCD, straight through the stone hall and out into the open air behind. Walk straight ahead until you come to a lawn with buildings on three sides (New Square). Walk around the left (north) side of the lawn to the corner. Walk through the gateway at the corner between the two buildings beside the lawn. The Samuel Beckett Centre is now facing you.

Find directions from other gates here:

...

Enthusiasm:
Having seen Jesper and Troels performing Beowulf at the Lejre storytelling festival in Denmark three times, I recommend it without hesitation as a riotously entertaining piece of storytelling theatre.

This is world-class innovative storytelling. (That's the only reason I'm going to the bother of co-sponsoring, arranging and promoting this production.)

I'm looking forward to seeing the show again, as it has a delightful freshness every time. Come and see for yourself, and bring your friends, as they will thank you for it. In fact, bring somebody you fancy, as they will shower you with kisses afterwards. :-)
