Description
Glass Canon Theatre Company presents
The Ninth Hour
By Kate Douglas and Shayfer James
Directed by Savina Barini
Music Direction by Emily Erickson
Choreography by Laura Artesi
A hero, summoned to be a protector against a relentless enemy, must confront the evil within herself as a monster comes to terms with the agony of isolation at his life's end. The Ninth Hour is a rock-noir reimagining of the epic poem Beowulf that explores the intricacies of humankind's relationship with power and violence. This is a classic story of glory and ruin as told through triumphant pop anthems, heart-wrenching lullabies, heroes, and monsters.
