Grail Knight is a three-act episodic adaptation of the story of Sir Galahad and the Quest for the Holy Grail. Here, the last knight of the round table is reimagined as a young trans girl struggling under the weight of destiny and the task of fixing her predecessors Camelot. Born into a broken world and to a divine prophecy that says she will heal it, Galahad faces questions that haunt us today: how can we fix the mistakes of our predecessors? How do we find agency and identity in a world where we must conform to survive? Is there room to live and love in a dying world?
Written by Sean French-Byrne with the Electric Lite Collective, and directed by Ezekiel Baskin, this script has been developed via a collaborative rehearsal and workshopping process. Originally conceived as a staged reading, the project has evolved into an episodic experiment in live performance across physical distance.
In an effort to combat Zoom fatigue, this play will be presented episodically over the course of three Saturdays in May. Tune in on Saturdays at 7pm EST, starting on Saturday May 16th! If you miss a week and want to jump in later, or simply want to enjoy the play on your own time, each weeks act will be posted on YouTube after each Zoom performance!
To get access to the Zoom link, reserve your tickets here! Links will be emailed out 24 hours before the start of the performance.
Please note this script contains misgendering, familial trauma, discussion of sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and misogyny.
