Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of BEOWULF: A THOUSAND YEARS OF BAGGAGE at Trinity Rep

Tony Award-winning Trinity Repertory Company kicks off their 2016-2017 season, Ghosts of the Past, Dreams of the Future with Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage, directed by Curt Columbus. Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage running September 8 - October 9, 2016 in Trinity Rep's Chace Theater. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in character below!

Based on one of the most famous pieces of literature of all time, Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage is a raucous rock 'n' roll re-telling of the blood-soaked Old English poem. With music by Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812), the swaggering hero Beowulf defends the great hall of Heorot against the monster Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a fire-breathing dragon...as a panel of academics overanalyzes his every move. With music The New York Times called, "catchy and pop-infused with echoes of Tom Waits," Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage is the epic legend seen in a visceral, brutal, and tender new light.

Trinity Rep resident company member Charlie Thurston stars as the titular Beowulf. He is joined by fellow company members Stephen Berenson, Janice Duclos, Rebecca Gibel, Anne Scurria, Rachael Warren, and Joe Wilson, Jr. and Brown/Trinity Rep actors Rachel Clausen, Laura Lyman Payne, and Brad Wilson.

The creative team includes Michael McGarty (set design), Olivera Gajic (costume design), Dan Scully (lighting design), Peter Sasha Hurowitz (sound design), Michael Rice (music direction) and Shoshanna Utchenik (puppet design) with stage manager Kelly Hardy.
