Gawain and the Green Knight

A new storytelling for the Solstice

by Lisa Schneidau

“Who’ll spring from his seat and take this weapon?”

A giant appears at the New Year feast with a deadly challenge. Does Gawain have what it takes to stay alive?

Lisa Schneidau tells a new version of the medieval Arthurian tale, laced with tree folklore and midwinter magic.

Of all the trees that are in the wood, the Holly bears the crown

This is performance storytelling in the folk tradition. Age advisory 14+. There will be a short interval, seasonal refreshments will be available.

Lisa Schneidau is a storyteller, folklorist and author based on Dartmoor. Her new book Tree Folk: tree folklore, song and lore from Britain and Ireland is published on November by the History Press. www.lisaschneidau.co.uk
