Eftwyrd: Rebirth

Step into 664AD, the year of the Whitby Synod, as acclaimed poet and performer Bob Beagrie and friends bring his epic verse cycle Eftwyrd vividly to life.

Journey with a monk travelling from Hartlepool to St Hild's new clifftop abbey, encountering Caedmon, St Wilfrid, King Oswiu and the folklore, superstition and wild magic of Northumbria's dramatic coastline. Blending history, myth and spellbinding performance, this is an immersive evening that transports you to the world of Anglo-Saxon Whitby.

Described as "a writer of depth and daring", Beagrie is one of the North East's most distinctive poetic voices, creating work that is both visionary and deeply rooted in place.
