New Age Gawain w/ Margot Chamberlain @ Fringe, NSN Conference, Richmond, VA9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Diane and her collaborator Margot Chamberlain (Celtic Harp) perform New Age Gawain at Fringe, part of NSN Conference “Story: Seed of Creativity”, August 1-4, 2013, in Richmond, VA. Date and time TBD — check back closer to the date for details!
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 new-age 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!”
