About this event
Ropetackle Storytellers hosts Niall Moorjani in an award-winning and fantastically funny retelling of the medieval classic The Green Knight, with the subtext made text! (Spoiler alert: it’s gay).
A classic Christmas game ends in Sir Gawain being 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 and award-winning storyteller Niall Moorjani and co-directed with Cecily Nash. Fresh from a packed 5 star run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this adaptation fabulously queers and modernizes an Arthurian classic.
