The Green Knight (But It’s Gay)
Experience this fantastical, fabulous Arthurian retelling from award-winning theatre-maker Niall Moorjani at the Scottish Storytelling Centre as part of the Fringe!
About The Green Knight (But It’s Gay)
A fantastically funny retelling of medieval classic The Green Knight with the subtext made text! (Spoiler alert: it’s gay).
Sir Gawain’s been peer-pressured into chopping off the Green Knight's head. Now he has to let the miraculously still-alive Green Knight return the favour. Disaster! King Arthur reckons Gawain needs to be more masculine and there's nothing manlier than a good head chopping off... so there's really no way out.
Created by critically acclaimed storyteller Niall Moorjani and produced by award-winning theatre-makers Some Kind of Theatre, this adaptation fabulously queers and modernises an Arthurian classic.
Captioned performance: 17th August (open captioning by Christabel Anderson)
