About This Event

The Green Knight (But It's Gay) will be performed on 25 November 2026 at the Faculty of English, Judith E Wilson Studio. This adaptation of the medieval classic Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, created by Niall Moorjani, aims to modernise and queer the story. The performance promises a humorous retelling with a focus on LGBTQ+ themes.

Join Niall Moorjani for a queer retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Fantastically funny retelling of medieval classic The Green Knight with the subtext made text! (Spoiler alert: it’s gay). Sir Gawain’s been 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 storyteller Niall Moorjani and produced by award-winning theatre-makers Some Kind of Theatre, this adaptation fabulously queers and modernises an Arthurian classic.
