The Green Knight (BUT IT'S GAY)

A fantastically funny retelling of the medieval classic The Green Knight with the sub-text made text! (Spoiler art: it?s gay.)
Sir Gawain?s been peer-pressured into chopping off the Green Knight?s head. And now he has to let the miraculously still-alive Green Knight return the favour. Disaster! King Arthur reckons this is grand as Gawain needs to be more masculine anyway and everybody knows there?s nothing manlier than a good head chopping off? so there?s really no way out.
Created and performed by award-winning (Charlie Harthill Award, Pleasance Theatre 2025) and critically-acclaimed ?storytelling genius? (The Scotsman) Niall Moorjani, associate directed by Cecily Nash, and produced in association with Scotland?s award-winning, touring literary theatre company Some Kind of Theatre, this new adaptation fabulously queers an Arthurian classic for the modern world.
