written and performed by story-teller Jamie Crawford, composed in collaboration with John Wright, June Peters and Hugh Lupton

If we were to stumble upon a cave and find a king asleep with all his knights, talking in his sleep, remembering, what would there be worth hearing in that ancient dream for us now? Jamie Crawford has delved into the earliest sources as well as subsequent re-workings to find a living connection between the Arthurian story and 21st century Britain. By turns playful, tragic and mysterious, this spirited new show cuts through the clichés surrounding King Arthur, bringing to life the passions and flaws that beset the Fellowship of the Round Table from its inspired rise to its violent fall. The show deals with the central story of the Arthurian cycle; from Arthur's conception to his passing, focussing on Arthur himself, Morgana, Merlin, Mordred, Guinevere and Lancelot. Among the episodes covered are, the sword in the stone, the lady of the lake, the Holy Grail and the final battle at Camlann, as well as many lesser known parts of the story.
