Synopsis
This wonder-filled tale of old is a gleaming thing of marvels, adventure, magic and mystery to be cherished by all people—young or old—for any time of the year and most particularly as a play of festival at New Year's or Christmas. It is a fantasy inspired by the late 14th-century Middle English story of an adventure of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, and his encounter with a mysterious warrior, the Green Knight. This play is faithful to the wit, elegance and perceptions of the fabled original tale of old as told by Sir Gawain. The conteur tells the story, similar to a Merlin or Morgan le Fey of the Arthur legend. The story produces all the magic and creates all the obstacles for Gawain, who must exhibit honor and chivalry in the face of danger.
