ARTHUR, THE STORY OF A KING
Who was King Arthur? A real King, or just a legend? Depending on the source, he is a Celt, a king, a general, a guerilla warrior; fighting the Saxons, the Romans, or even the Picts! The truth is no-one really knows - the facts are few and far between.
One fact that is true, however, is that the fantastical tale of King Arthur, the hero warrior, is one of the great stories of the world. Steeped in chivalry and romance, it is an epic story of a King and his exploits involving magic and magicians in an age where good conquered evil.
Arthur, the Story of a King encapsulates Wee Stories’ love of literature, high comedy, audience participation, visual games and imaginative stagecraft, while expertly handling the topics of war, government, destiny, friendship and betrayal.
