STORY PICK + MIX: BEOWULF

LAURA SAMPSON, MINNIE WILKINSON
14 MAY 2026, 7.15pm

There’s a recipe for renown: ‘Save the day. Beat monsters. Gift your reward to the right receiver.’

And also: don’t get old.

Beowulf is a hero destined for renown: he’s made sure of it. He knows his history, and he knows his enemy. But there are always other enemies, and the ‘truth’ of a history always depends on its tellers…

Dive with Minnie Wilkinson and Laura Sampson into a mere of epic heroes - a time and place where it’s not about living, it’s about living on. To do that, you have to win.

To win, you have to fight.
To fight, you have to forget you’re afraid to die.

STORY PICK + MIX is a series of wild tales for willing ears in the heart of London, curated by The House of Rumour in cahoots with the Crick Crack Club. These are rough cuts of new work, upcoming voices, and experimental performances that we didn't quite know what to do with...
