What is Arthur about?

Overlooked and wanting to be taken seriously, Grace encounters the mysterious Merlin who transports her back to the 6th century. As Grace and Arthur’s two worlds collide, their fates entwine, and together they must embark on the greatest quest they’ll ever face, to retrieve Excalibur.

With the future of Britain depending on them, they must overcome a fearsome beast and navigate the perils of the ancient forest – if only they can figure out how to work together….

This Summer, join the adventure in a magical new play with original songs, based on Arthurian legend and the quest for a better world.
