“King Arthur in Contemporary Connecticut” is brilliant farce, on par with Stoppard and Wilde. Lines are fluid and eminently actable. Scene after scene surprises with comic and narrative invention. As with all farce, there is a firm moral foundation. Each character is clearly and economically drawn and defined. The play necessarily takes time to wind the spring of the machine, and the first act contains plenty of good lines and jokes to make the winding tolerable and fun. When the spring unwinds, we get we get a great, endlessly comic denouement. A gift. Highly recommended.

KING ARTHUR is a playful adaptation of the original Mark Twain story that will delight any Arthurian or Merlinian aficionado. The play is radio drama in style of Thrilling Adventure Hour and uses SFX & a lot of heart to tell its tale. James is a very easy playwright to work with and has polished his script considerably since its first reading, looking forward to seeing what kind of future this piece has in store for it.
