BROTHER WOLD

BROTHER WOLF

A Play by Preston Lane
Music and Lyrics by Laurelyn Dossett

January 29 - February 15, 2009

No one in Dayton grasps the traditions of Appalachian music and movement better than our own Rhythm in Shoes! Rick and Sharon and the gang will be joining our actors to highlight a modern retelling of Beowulf. Fiery preacher Brother Wolf does battle with the evil Grin Dell and his Maw to save his mountain community, all to old time gospel and traditional folk tunes. If you liked Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?, you’re going to love Brother Wolf — classical fun with one of the great legends of yore.
