New Age Gawain and the Green Knight

A comedy for today

Diane Edgecomb accompanied by Margot Chamberlain – Celtic Harp.

The stakes are high for Arthur’s men’s group. First, into their midst, comes a bungee-jumping Green Man who delivers an ancient macho challenge. Then a mysterious rider gallops off with his head under his arm, taunting Gawain to follow. But the greatest fun comes when three very different female archetypes use their wiles in an attempt to corrupt Gawain’s new age virtue. Welcome to New Age Gawain and the Green Knight, Edgecomb’s hilarious send up of the men’s movement. Loosely based on the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Edgecomb’s comedic adaptation has New Age Arthurian knights running for their therapists faster than you can say "Litigation!"

Harper Margot provides a lush atmosphere of sound as we journey along the ‘road less traveled by’ in this fun loving holiday tale..

This 50 minute performance can be combined with other seasonal tales for a longer wintertime program or stand alone as entertainment for any time of year. Appropriate for audiences ages 12 and up.

"Humorous and entertaining parody."  Booklist Magazine 1/1/97
