Llandovery: The Green Knight (But it's Gay) coming to stage
Award-winning theatre maker Niall Moorjani will perform their show The Green Knight (But it's Gay) at the King's Head in Llandovery. The show is a reimagining of the medieval Arthurian tale told through a modern, queer lens. The performance will take place on Thursday, July 10. Ella Peel, organiser of Llandovery Pride and chairperson of Heart of Wales LGBTQ+, said: "We're so thrilled that Niall is fitting us into their very busy schedule. "Bringing this show to Llandovery is so important – offering people powerful, live performance without the need to travel miles to a big city. "We're so grateful to Jonathan Stanley for hosting this fabulous event at the Kings Head Llandovery." The show comes ahead of its highly anticipated run at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It has been described as bold, hilarious, and heart-wrenching, queering the myth with razor-sharp writing and emotional depth. The event will also serve as a fundraiser for Llandovery Pride, supporting the visibility and celebration of LGBTQ+ lives in rural Wales. Doors will open at 6.30pm, with the performance starting at 7pm. Tickets are available online via Ticket Source. The King's Head is located at SA20 0AB.
