*This show holds enormous appeal for adults as well as children. Village hall audiences for Gawain are usually 75% – 95% adult.

Note for schools – The show is also available as a special one-hour version for Years 3 – 6.

When days grow short and nights grow long… When fires crackle in the hearths and frost freezes on the windows… It’s time to tell the old tales.

The Green Knight

Young Sir Gawain, a Knight of the Round Table, accepts a challenge from the fearsome Green Knight. Soon he is riding north on a terrible quest. Cold, alone and far from home, with the snow falling around him, he suddenly sees a mysterious castle…

Cat’s playful version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a real midwinter treat – a magical mixture of storytelling, theatre and pantomime that is lively, funny and genuinely thrilling. Don’t tell the audience, but the show contains a REAL GREEN KNIGHT! Six foot tall and green as grass! His entry is totally unexpected and completely unforgettable.

This is a family show, suitable for children over 8 – and unaccompanied adults! Contains loud action.
