The Corruption of Morgana Pendragon

by McKayla Witt

Here is a girl transforming into a woman. Here is a girl transforming into a goddess. Here is a girl transforming into a beast. Here is Arthurian legends as it stands and as it crumples to the tide of history. Here is what it means to make and remake a legend on the backs of broken women and forgotten traditions.

The Corruption of Morgana Pendragon

    McKayla Witt, more than any writer I know, is capable of weaving a complicated web that does not distract, but rather serves the sensitivity and simplicity of the human beings inside it. The worlds she makes are as full of blood and heartbeat as the people who populate them, this play being a prime example. Witt's deep sense of the daily and fantastical, grounded in her masterful ability to capture the desperation of love and family make "Morgana" the kind of play one encounters once in a lifetime.

    McKayla Witt is a genius and this play is proof. Though packed with passion and rage, this play has such heart. I have not stopped thinking about this play since the first time I read it, and I doubt that it will leave my mind any time soon.
