King Arthur

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 reworkings 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 cliches surrounding King Arthur, bringing to life the passions and flaws that beset the Fellowship of the RoundTable from its inspired rise to its violent fall.

Jamie Crawford has worked as a performance storyteller for 20 years. He has performed for BBC Learning, the British Museum, the National Trust and at many arts centres and festivals.

King Arthur is suitable for adults and children aged 12 upwards.

Developed with support from Arts Council England and the Traditional Arts Foundation.
