Part Two! Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: KUT Austin radio broadcast performance from the 1970s
Part ONE is here: • Sir Gawain and the Gre...
This is one of the most lively and evocative readings of this dramatic 14th C. tale of the Christmas Season, which begins in Camelot, at the court of King Arthur. It was performed in the KUT radio studio during the 1970s, and deserves to be revived! Members of the cast and the director were connected with the University of Texas at Austin, as follows:
Translation of text by Burton Raffel
Directed by Bill Levitan
Music directed by Brad Benton (Collegium Musicum)
Narrator: Douglass Parker
Sir Bercilak/Green Knight: Gareth Morgan
Sir Gawain: Tony Howe
The Lady: Jane Wilson Joyce
King Arthur (and other roles): Ben Teague
Please note that--due to a fault in the tape--there is a small part of the text missing (perhaps two or three minutes), at the end of Part Three, but it is soon followed by the conclusion of the piece, in Part Four.

This has been a joy to hear. Decades ago I wrote my thesis for my Bachelor’s in Sir Gawain. It is still very much loved by me.

This was a godsend for my Great Myths and Legends class. Glad to be able to find an audiobook reading of the translation of this story that I had to read for class. Also, was it just me, or was the Green Knight a little gay for Gawain? Pretty cool to see some homoeroticism from middle English poetry.

Nice, but it´s not a welsh story at all. Gawain was Gwalchmai and he was Welsh, son of Gwyar, sister of King Arthur. The Green Knight legend originates in Ireland.
