Beowulf Script

Scene 1: Mead hall
(Party at King Hrothgar’s Mead Hall)
Aeschere: Silence, everyone! The King is about to speak!
Hrothgar: Thank you, Aeschere. Last year, I sore to you all that our victories shall be enjoyed in a hall
one of beauty and might, such a dazzling sight. Now you see that my tales are not tall!
(Applause)
Wealthow: You heard your King! Enjoy this feast and celebrate till dawn for victory is a hard-earned
prize through battle won with brawn.
Soldier #1: Cheers to the beast we’ve slain!
Soldier #2: Cheers to our triumph again!
Soldier #3: And to the selfless sacrifice of our valiant men!
(Everyone cheers and eats)
(SUDDENLY, GRENDEL APPEARS)
Soldiers and Peasants: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH *screams*
(Grendel wreaks havoc on their celebration)
Soldiers: Slay the beast disturbing the feast! End the potential threat! Thrust your swords, so endless
hordes may be saved from certain death!
(Fighting Began)
(Grendel kills the soldiers, as the King and Wealthow escapes with the others)
Scene 2: King Hrothgar’s Land
(Grendel destroys the land, while the Queen and King watch in terror)
Wealthow: Oh, who will save us from this terror that has befallen our land?
Hrothgar: Do not fear, my Dear. I understand, but I believe in salvation will come to us. They say he is
mighty, brave, and strong. They call him, Beowulf.
Unferth: If I may be so bold, my King. Do not easily believe in hersay. The one to save us all will come in
the proper time, maybe, but not today.
(Beowulf appears)
Beowulf: I have come to end you, foul beast! Prepare for your death comes – NOW!
(Grendel and Beowulf battle in hand-to-hand combat) (Grendel’s arm have been taken by Beowulf)
(Grendel crawls away and dies) (Everyone appears and cheers)
Hrothgar: What is your name, he who has rid our land of the beast?
Beowulf: My name is… Beowulf!
(Everyone cheers)
Grendel’s Mother: (in the distance) NOOOOOO!

Scene 3: Front of the Throne
Hrothgar: For being so brave to fight the beast, and so courageous to make a leap. I, King Hrothgar,
present these jewels and chests of treasure for you to keep.
Beowulf: Thank you, my King, for this treasure. But what you did for my father has no measure. So I
thought if I must repay you in kind, killing Grendel was what come to mind.
Unferth: Bravo, Beowulf! For your showmanship has rid our land of the foul monster. But your display of
strength was not needed to prove yourself a combat master. If I may boldly say, I’d say you were
showing off to boast of your impressive skill. When you could have so easily went with a sword in hand
and shield for the kill.
Hrothgar: Silence, Unferth! Show some gratitude. There is no calling for that kind of attitude.
Wealthow: My apologies, Beowulf, If Unferth seems rude, a little envious perhaps, and a bit of a prude.
(Unferth scoffs and walks away)
Horthgar: Tonight, the whole Kingdom cheers for Beowulf has rid us of our fears! Endless food and
endless beer, to celebrate a deathless year!
(Everyone cheers and applauds)
Aeschere: Three cheers fr Beowulf and his success!
(Everyone cheers and applauds as celebratory music plays)
Grendel’s Mother: (In the distance) Laugh all you want, you fools. But the worst is yet to come, for I am
merciless, vengeful. My wrath will spare no one!
(Grendel’s Mother barges in to the part and kills Aeschere)
Hrothgar: Aeschere, No!!!
(Hrothgar attempts to fight Grendel’s Mother but she escapes)
Beowulf: King Hrothgar, I swear he will be avenged. I will kill Grendel’s mother for this. Gather your best
men and we will head to swamplands at once and end this bloodshed once and for all!
Scene 4: Swamplands
Beowulf: Tread this land with care, for here resides a beast fouler than one I’ve slain. And if you shall stir
her wrath, you may never be seen again.
(Beowulf jumps to the water)
(Grendel’s mother ambushed him and took him into her cave)
Grendel’s mother: You dare come here, Mortal? After you’ve killed my son?
Beowulf: I have come to end the bloodshed once and for all!
(Beowulf having a hard time fighting Grendel’s mother. His sword had no effect and breaks) (sees a
sword in his line of reach along with the rest of the gold, he took it)
Grendel’s mother: You haven’t seen the last of me!
Beowulf: I believe right now, I have.
(slays Grendel’s mother)
(Soldiers rejoice, and so does Beowulf)

Scene 4: In front of the Throne
Hrothgar: It breaks my heart to say farewell. I have treated you as my own son, and you have done a
great service unto our land. So why must you leave now?
Beowulf: Sad as it is, my King. But I have to go. I must return to my homeland, Geatland. If any dangers
arise, I might be of help there.
Hrothgar: Very well, we shall lavish you with pots and chests of gold for the things you had done to my
land. Know this, you will always have a special place in the people’s hearts. They shall never forget your
face.
(Beowulf bows to the King and leaves)

Scene 6: In Geatland, 50 years later
And so for 50 years,

Geatland lived without fear.
For Beowulf stood watchful guard,
As King of their Danish land.
But mayhem finds a way, it seems,

As the forces intent on ruining the peace.
Fueled with innocence and greed.
Hatch a scheme and proceed.
To steal what is not theirs,

And stir an ancient wrath.
One that will forever ruin lives,
And lay destruction in its path.
Scene 7: Beowulf’s Throne
Soldier: King Beowulf, our land has been greeted by havoc once again… A dragon firing its hot breath on
the land in its way.
Beowulf: Then, it shall be done. Gather my men, and we will shall proceed.
Soldier: Yes, my King.
(Soldier bows and leaves)

SCENE 8: GEATLAND
(dragon continues wreaking havoc)
Beowulf: Dragon! You will pay for this destruction

I shall fight you till my dying breath
And bring about your certain death!
(Dragon and Beowulf fight)

(Dragon bites Beowulf in neck, poisoning him)
(Beowulf stabs dragon, killing it)
(Beowulf starts to die, lies on the ground, people cry around him)
Beowulf: My fellow Geats, I bid you farewell

‘Twas an honor to have served you all
Till my last breath.
Now my final wish is for me
To be buried out at sea
So I would have had a noble death.
(Beowulf dies)
Townspeople: The King is dead!
(Townspeople cry, bury him out at sea as he requested)
