Fireside

Nikki & JD and Lost Dog Dance

Denton Gardens

An outdoor show that combines circus, dance, theatre and live music to re-enact the original horror story. The one about the monster, and the monster’s mother, and the dragon and the hero and the severed limbs. Dark, comic and physically dangerous this is a modern re-telling of that ancient epic, Beowulf.
