The Beast of Hyperborea at the 2024 Ft. Worth Fringe
Written and Performed by Brad McEntire
​
Playing as part of the 2024 Ft. Worth Fringe, The Beast of Hyperborea concerns an in-over-his-head accountant who gets swept into a daring quest with an eccentric group of explorers. They head off on a globe-trotting adventure to a remote island in search of a frightening monster... and find it! Told in the rousing tradition of Victorian adventure fiction (think Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne and H. Rider Haggard) this one-person show is chock-a-block full of humor, heart-ache and lots of bone-chilling excitement.
​
Named "Outstanding Production" at TNT's (Theatre Network of Texas') TEXFest 2024, Audacity Theatre Lab is super-pleased to bring this show to the Ft. Worth Fringe. As well-travelled as it is, the show rarely plays so close to home here in north Texas.
​
Playing:
Friday, September 6 – 9:30 PM
Saturday September 7 – 2:20 PM
Sunday, September 8 – 1:20 PM
​
At the Ft. Worth Fringe Festival, ​
The Sanders Theatre at Fort Worth Community Arts Center (Arts Fort Worth)
1300 Gendy St., Fort Worth, Texas 76107
