Actor John Heimbuch is scheduling backyard performances of “Charlie Bethel’s Beowulf” for small groups over the next month or two. He says his one-person performance is for “adults, families, and kids who like mythology and fantasy books.” It’s based on an old English poem about a warrior and some monsters. This version of “Beowulf” was written by Charlie Bethel and was a big hit at the 2019 Minnesota Fringe, where it was also performed by Heimbuch, co-artistic director of Walking Shadow Theatre.
Audience groups will need to be masked and socially distanced. “Ideally not more than 5-7 pods per performance – 12-16 people max, depending on yard size and layout,” Heimbuch says. For info: johnheimbuch.com. For availability, rates and booking information, email john@johnheimbuch.com.
