Synopsis

The King is dead and the Green Kingdom is in turmoil. Only the all-powerful wizard Merlin knows that the future lies with the young boy Arthur. Who slumbers in Merlin's mystical Cave of Dreams where, his past and future are revealed in a glorious vision.

"Forget chivalrous knights in shining armor rescuing love-sick maidens, round tables and the fabled glories of Camelot. Charles Way’s delightful play takes the young rustic Arthur through his rites-of-passage towards self-awareness as the once and future kind to draw that sword from the stone." - The Stage, UK
