Let the jester tickle your funny bone with this retelling of an Arthurian legend filled with puns, slapstick humor, and audience interaction!  The tale begins as Arthur, trying to take a fast buck, is accused of poaching by the Black Knight.  He attacks the king and — even though Arthur defends himself valiantly with a rubber chicken — defeats him.  In order to keep his kingdom, Arthur must answer the most difficult riddle ever:  What do women most desire?  A hag from the wood can provide the answer, but only if Arthur can find a knight to marry the loathsome lady.  Sir Gawain, an impetuous young knight, volunteers to defend the king’s honor before he meets his bride-to-be.  Will Gawain be true to his word?  Only the answer to another riddle will keep everyone living happily ever after!  Audiences of all ages will delight in this classic tale, retold with a Monty Python-esque flair!
