The Lady Of The Lake

The glorious reign of King Arthur is drawing to a close. Having lost most of his lands to the Saxons and the love of his wife to his best friend, Arthur retires to his castle in Carlisle hoping to live out his final years in peace and obscurity. But the world is in need of a hero and if Arthur is unwilling to play the part, it may be time for someone else to take the starring role…

Combining high-energy and fast-paced action with poetic dialogue, this brand new Cumbrian play plunges you into a world of ancient magic and ruthless ambition, of cowardly kings and unchivalrous knights, sword-wielding maidens and innocent young witches – a world in which only one thing is certain: everybody wants to be a legend.
