The fifth century meets the twenty-first as Lance-Corporal Pellinore is shipped off to Baghdad. It's Arthur's story...as you've never heard it before. Set against the backdrop of the first Gulf War, this military drama uses the body of medieval legend surrounding the early days of King Arthur and his knights to explore the nature of idealism in the face of armed conflict. Comparing and contrasting the contemporary and classical language of martial heroism, this wholly unique blend of scholarship and performance art promises to be a controversial and thought-provoking event.
