What an amazing experience. Because of seeing his performance I now have a different understanding of the exchange between Unferth and Beowulf. See the DVD for what I mean. I also have the DVD and it is great. But if you, anyone you know or any of your readers get a chance to see him perform this do not walk but run to do so. The DVD is lit brighter (for reasons of filming). But when I saw him it was an almost black stage with a bit of amber light coming up at him from the stage. The narration/sub titles were projected on a black screen behind him. A truely moving experience. I got to see Mr. Bagby perform Beowulf earlier this year. What an amazing experience.
