Beowulf

After tours of Europe, America and Australia, Felix Nobis returns to Cork with his spellbinding performance of this ancient story that still speaks to the 21st century.

“As a translator and narrator of the Beowulf story, Felix Nobis has found a style that is high but not inflated, true to the poetry of the original and enthralling to a contemporary audience.” Seamus Heaney

“Nobis conjures up a world of heroes, monsters and dragons, of gold hordes and the building of a great hall as a bulwark against the unknown. It’s the stuff of fairytales and nightmares.” Irish Examiner

“An old classic infused with new life.” Irish Times

Beowulf

Bradshaw Books en association avec Grendel Productions présente: Beowulf

Après une tournée en Europe, Amérique et Australie, Felix Nobis revient á Cork avec son envoûtante performance d’histoires anciennes qui nous parlent encore au 21éme siècle.

« Comme traducteur et narrateur de l’histoire de Beowulf, Felix Nobis a trouvé un style brillant mais pas trop gonflé, qui fidèle poème original et passionnant pour l’audience contemporaine » Seamus Heaney

« Nobis donne naissance á un monde de héros, de monstres et dragons, de hordes dorées et la construction d’un grand couloire tel un rempart c’est là l’étoffe des contes de fées et des cauchemars » Irish Examiner

« Un vieux classique doté d’un nouveau souffle » Irish Times
