The Knight's Quest Behaving badly can get you into a lot of trouble, so Sir Gawain has discovered. King Arthur has sent him on a seemingly impossible quest to discover the answer to the age-old question, ‘What do women want?’ The penalty for failure is beheading! For a year and a day, he roams the land meeting damsels and knights in distress, fights off marauding beasts and confers with those older and wiser than he. Will he succeed in his quest or will he be beheaded? Only you the audience can help him reach his final answer. Backwoods Players director Sandy Lloyd is gearing up to present The Knight’s Quest, a short medieval romp adapted by Julie Oakes and Angela Steyn from Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath tale. The Knight’s Quest will be presented three times on Sunday May 25 during Steam Up at Pickering Museum Village and is included in the cost of admission. Join us as the Museum Village springs into life for a new year. You can also see a performance of The Knight’s Quest during Artfest on the Esplanade, presented by the PineRidge Arts Council and the City of Pickering. The event will take place Saturday, May 24 between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm at Esplanade Park in Pickering. Pickering Museum Village is located 3km east of Brock Road, on the south side of Hwy #7 just west of Westney Rd., only a ten-minute drive into the past. Backwoods Players is always looking for production volunteers as well as actors; new people are welcome with open arms.
