Abstract:
This adaptation of the 14th century poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,
includes not only the action of the poem, but a month in the life of the poet and a modem
reader experiencing the text for the first time. In each of these frames, the central
characters go through processes of self-discovery that allow them to realize their own
gayness and creative potential. The screenplay deals with how people in different time
periods struggle with societal and personal expectations.
