King Arthur
a fun and farcical family adventure
Somewhere in Britain, a long time ago, a very, very, very long time ago. So long ago that nobody quite knows whether it happened or not. Or where it happened or not.
A boy pulled a sword from a stone and became King. A story of the old world, with knights, wizards, mist and magic.
This fun and farcical adventure is a deliberately anarchic and anachronistic re-telling of the Arthurian Legend with live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics.
“The show was a real joy...delicious twinkle-in-the-eye humour to engage, entertain and delight people of all ages.” Richard Wolfenden-Brown, Director at The Plough Arts Centre
