Put your hands together for medievalist, actor and writer Debbie Cannon, who brings the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to life in a special guest performance. Debbie shares an excerpt from her celebrated one-woman show Green Knight, a bold and lyrical retelling that’s been captivating audiences for nearly a decade.

We talk knighthood, decapitation, and the challenges of telling medieval stories on modern stages. Our extended chat—featuring behind-the-scenes insight into Debbie’s creative process—will be available later this month on Patreon.
