Music by Peter Allwood.
Book and lyrics by Peter Allwood, Joanna Horton, Jeremy James Taylor and Frank Whately.
A journey back in time to the Court of King Arthur Pendragon - where Guinevere, Merlin, Sir Launcelot, the Lady of the Lake and the Knights of the Round Table battle with Morgan Le Fay and the forces of evil. This thrilling exploration into the darker depths of Arthurian legend was the smash hit of the 1994 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Poetry, puppetry, magic and mime are interwoven with a beautiful musical score to create a spectacular theatrical experience of comedy, pathos and power.
