The Sword of King Arthur
Written & Directed by GAVIN BANTOCK
on Friday, 1st December, 2017
in Haruno Bunka Hall Pia Stage
at 6.30pm.
The famous story of King Arthur, his magical sword Excalibur, his Knights of the Round Table, and his fabled court of Camelot – which lie at the heart of British folk culture.
Who can pull the sword from the stone? Why does Sir Lancelot fall in love with Queen Guinevere and what happens then? Who is the Lady of the Lake? What is the mysterious Quest of the Holy Grail?
Evil plots and magic spells, Merlin the wise old magician, Morgan le Fay the wicked enchantress, a hideous ogre, a poisoned apple, a beautiful cloak that burns to death whoever puts it on.
Nobility, chivalry and goodness of character in conflict with jealousy, ambition and revenge – the never-ending struggle between good and evil.
