Storytelling at The Ropetackle - The Green Knight (But it’s Gay)"
Details
The Ropetackle has started a regular monthly storytelling group (for adults), and this one promises to be hilarious!!.
Quite a few of us went along to their various events last year, usually on the 2nd Monday of the month. They have a terrific variety of guest storytellers, and is always great fun. It's usually held in the intimate mezzanine space, but occasionally moves to the main space downstairs if it sells out particularly fast. Tickets are just £10 - a great (and very reasonably priced!) way to spend a Monday night!
If you've never seen a professional storyteller weaving their magic, give it a try - you might get hooked, like me - it really is a unique experience!
Get your ticket at:-

and NB I'll be collecting £2 Meetup fee (contactless) from all attendees, unless you want to pay an annual sub of £10.
"Ropetackle Storytellers hosts Niall Moorjani in an award-winning and fantastically funny retelling of the medieval classic The Green Knight, with the subtext made text! (Spoiler alert: it’s gay).
A classic Christmas game ends in Sir Gawain being peer-pressured into chopping off the Green Knight's head. Now he has to let the miraculously still-alive Green Knight return the favour. Disaster! King Arthur reckons Gawain needs to be more masculine and there's nothing manlier than a good head chopping off… so there's really no way out. Created by critically acclaimed and award-winning storyteller Niall Moorjani and co-directed with Cecily Nash. Fresh from a packed 5 star run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this adaptation fabulously queers and modernizes an Arthurian classic."
