‘Queene Knight, eh? Hm. Derivative.’
From the macho courts of Camelot, to the bizarre castle in the woods: an epic adventure awaits. Gawain’s spur-of-the-moment participation in a dazzlingly violent game leads him on a whirlwind journey of extravagant soul-searching as he is tasked with finding the mysterious Queene Knight. But discovering the reason behind his quest, while also trying to figure out who on earth turned that music on, proves to be much harder than he expected.
An adaptation of the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, this new play is a celebration of all things odd. Perfect for the drag queen or medieval jester in your life.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
