An award winning and fantastically funny retelling of 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 modernises an Arthurian classic and is an excellent alternative for anyone looking for panto-esk festive joy without the capitalism and nonsense.
“British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
