Gawain and the Green Knight
By Felix Grainger & Gabriel Fogarty-Graveson, Directed by Kelly Ann Stewart
Join Gawain, the ultimate office everyman – diligent, dependable, and about as exciting as a stapler – as he prepares to attend the Christmas party of his eccentric workplace, Camelot Corp: a company of knights that offers the best cyber-security service, fit for a king.
Gawain, the long-suffering nine-to-fiver desperate to prove himself, thinks tonight might be his final chance of getting that long-overdue promotion, and more importantly, conjuring up the courage to ask out his workplace crush. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, it turns out, a lot! When a mysterious green figure gatecrashes the party and challenges the employees to a deadly game, it is hard-working Gawain who rises to the challenge. Suddenly he is catapulted from photocopying into a world of adventure, temptation and heroic quests, as he searches for the legendary Green Chapel – and his destiny.
From the comedy writers behind The Nag’s Head and Sniff, this is Gawain and the Green Knight as you’ve never seen it before: packed with laugh-out-loud comedy and multi-rolling madness. Expect magic, wild antics and plenty of festive joviality.
Make It Beautiful in association with Park Theatre.
