The Green Knight (But It’s Gay)
Join award winning and critically acclaimed storyteller Niall Moorjani for their fantastical and funny work-in-progress take on the medieval classic The Green Knight at Lighthouse Bookshop.
About The Green Knight (But It’s Gay)
It’s a version in which they make sub text-text! We'll give you a clue, it’s gay.
Follow the story of Sir Gawain and his adventures, all started by the peer-pressured, unfortunate and unsuccessful chopping off of The Green Knight's head. Now Gawain is going to get his head chopped off in return by the miraculously still alive green knight. Disaster. King Arthur reckons this will be grand as Gawain needs to do more manly things anyway and there is nothing more manly than taking a good head chop off. Co-produced by Edinburgh's literary theatre company Some Kind of Theatre, The Green Knight But It's Gay brings this Arthurian classic excellently brought into the modern world with deep love for the original text.
This is a work-in-progress sharing so expect hilarious mishaps, surprising moments of discovery for the story and storyteller and all round good fun in this comedy storytelling performance for adults.
