Show Name: Gawain and The Green Knight
Gawain, nephew to King Arthur, rides out in golden armour on his white horse. His mission is suicidal: to seek beheading by the axe of a murderous giant. His journey is long and cold; he is constantly ambushed … but the greatest danger comes from his own heart. Gawain is a C14th alliterative poem, itself based on an ancient Celtic story. It has themes of magic, honour, heroism tinged with absurdity, and has at its heart a dysfunctional family, where a wrong done in one generation festers into revenge upon the next. My prose re-telling of this wonderful epic includes humour, songs, and contemporary references: the etiquette of Christmas presents, Yodel delivery drivers, Downton Abbey, Powerpoint, and gossip mags.
