In this adaptation of the King Arthur mythology from "Le Morte D'Arthur", Arthur's search for justice and honor is thrown into disarray when his best friend and most loyal knight, Launcelot, has an affair with Queen Guinevere. What follows is a classic story of betrayal and love, as Camelot falls into chaos, crashing down around the man who built the kingdom. Told in verse, the play is full of wit, love, magic, and humor, as well as bloody battles and conspiracies. The play is written to resemble the style of Elizabethan writing, specifically Shakespeare's First Folio, not only in content and language, but also in structure and grammatical editing.
