Following their acclaimed production of The Hired Man, which transferred from Greenwich Theatre to New York, the critically acclaimed New Perspectives Theatre Company is back - this time with the first ever staging of this powerful new translation of SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT.

When, one New Year's Day, festivities at the court of King Arthur are interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious Green Knight and thrown into confusion by the extraordinary challenge he lays down, nobody, is prepared for the terrifying consequences of taking the supernatural stranger at his word.

SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT is a tale of temptation, romance and chivalry, shot through with rough-knuckled action and tall-tale humour, brought to life with the help of puppets and live music - a dazzling theatrical treat for young and old from one of this country's finest touring theatre companies.
