Books with title Sir Gawain and Green Knight 011090

Play script. A fantasy adapted by Dennis Scott. This wonder-filled tale of old is made by the National Theatre of the Deaf into a gleaming thing of marvels, adventure, magic, and mystery, to be cherished by all people, young or old - - for any time of the year, and most particularly as a play of Festival at New Year's or Christmas. An empty space. Cast of 4 men, 2 women minimum who create 20 or more men, women, and one red bird.Faithful to the wit, elegance, and perceptions of the fabled original tale of old as told by Sir Gawain, Dennis Scott has made a fantasy of great richness and depth sufficient to captivate adults and to fill children of all ages with delight. Originally made for The National Theatre of the Deaf, and premiered at the Eisenhower Theatre of the John F. Kennedy Center for the first national Children's Festival, 1977, this is a play not just for children, nor merely for a deaf company, but for all people young or old. Conteur tells the story - - like a Merlin/Morgan le Fey - - producing all the magic and creating all the obstacles for Gawain.
