Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Absurd stunts, crooked comedy, and a killer live soundtrack in this carnivalesque reimagining of Beowulf! Nikki & JD’s Fireside zigs where the epic zags, with monsters on stilts, heroes flinging themselves through the night sky, and a score to set your eyebrows on fire. The Geats, the Grendel, the dragon... it’s all here, just a little weirder."
