What do women desire most? Finding the answer is the
only thing that will save Arthur, but the only person who can give him the right answer is
an ugly hag, and she will only help if Sir Gawen will marry her.
This video provides a valuable classroom resource by capturing the medieval
performance tradition completely in Middle English, but in a format students will readily
understand. In this analog of Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Tale, costumes, harp
music, and a beautiful outdoor set enhance the storytelling.
