Based on the hunt for the Beast of Exmoor, multi story have created a hugely entertaining psychological thriller.

In the winter of 1982 scores of sheep were savagely slaughtered on Exmoor. A Beast was on the loose.

A marine on the moor hunts the beast. A mysterious woman appears at his side – there to help or to hinder? For the soldier, fresh from conflict, the hunt takes on a startling significance. And the tale takes on a life of its own, interweaving stories and myths from other times and other traditions to examine the nature of the beast – and the fate of the hero who hunts it.

Myths from around the world are evoked as supporting evidence. Hercules and the Lion, Diana and Acteon, Beowulf and Grendel - even the Werewolf of Ilfracombe - they all make an appearance along with the Marines and other assorted victims and hunters.

Fully exploiting the multi-role playing that the company is renowned for - as well as their musical skills and a wealth of multi-media input - this is great entertainment for student and adult audiences.
