A comic retelling of the Arthurian legend is set to bring festive chaos to Park Theatre this December, as Gawain and the Green Knight transforms an office Christmas party into a quest of epic proportions.
Written by Gabriel Fogarty-Graveson and Felix Grainger, Gawain and the Green Knight reimagines the Knights of the Round Table as employees of Camelot Corp, a surreal cyber-security firm. Gawain, the ultimate office everyman, finds himself thrust into a deadly game when a mysterious Green Knight gatecrashes the party.
Directed by Kelly Ann Stewart and Adam Nichols, the production runs in Park90 from 10th December 2025 to 10th January 2026, following the writers’ previous Park Theatre successes The Nag’s Head and Sniff.
The show features a multi-roling cast of four: Gabriel Fogarty-Graveson, Felix Grainger, Laura Pujos, and Cara Steele. With laugh-out-loud comedy, magical mayhem and festive antics, this modern interpretation promises to be a knight to remember.
OVO Artistic Director Adam Nichols said, “I’m really excited to see this modern mash up of the traditional Arthurian legend, infused with festive flavour. If you love Severance, Parks and Recreation and The Office, this is the show for you.”
Co-writer Felix Grainger added, “We are super-excited to return to the Park Theatre, and especially proud to do so with this production. Bringing this remarkable medieval tale into a contemporary setting and sending Gawain on a fantastical journey of self‑discovery has been a joy. We hope audiences will laugh, fall in love with the story, and—as you do when you see an underdog come out on top—leave with a warm, festive glow this Christmas.”
Gawain and the Green Knight premiered at the Roman Theatre Open Air Festival in June 2024 and has since been reworked for its Park Theatre debut.
