Odds Bodkin premiers his original epic fantasy tale in verse.

Meet Captain Phineas Krull, a murderous, poison-loving pirate sojourning through a high fantasy world. He’s just stolen a bejeweled sail ship—The Waistgold—that he discovers cannot be sunk. Stranger still, it is held together by the invisible power of its gem-studded wood.

As Krull is sailing to kill the Fell Beast–an entity that holds two seas apart in a wide straits–mysterious Queen Ood suddenly arrives to claim the ship she’s built, the one he’s stolen. Astoundingly, she arrives in boats without sails. Instead, her fast boats are powered by mysterious forces. The technology fascinates Phineas Krull, as well as how, in the middle of the trackless sea, she’s chased him down.

In the clash of wills that follows, a poetic adventure reminiscent of Jonathan Swift’s ironic social commentaries unfolds.

Written and performed in pirate language, Voyage of the Waistgold is a 51-page epic poem told in Odds Bodkin’s pulsing verse. The poem contains violence, provocative ideas and sexual themes. Performed a cappella, this show is for adults only. If you’ve seen Odds Bodkin performances before, unlike his other tales, this one is performed without music. The music is carried by the verse. He will read from his original text.

Adult content. No children please.

The program lasts approximately 90 minutes with intermissions. Please do not plan to arrive after the performance has begun, as this is a live storytelling event that will be disrupted by late arrivals!

Venue will make an effort to seat parties together when possible. If you do not purchase all tickets for your party together, please email sayhi@grendelsden and inform us of all the names in the group that wish to sit together.
