About Arthuriana Fest
Told through a frame of intense personal tragedy, Camelot is deceptively romantic while packing a politically relevant punch. Magpie capitalizes on this potent balance by delving deeper into the source material, discovering more legends and figures that speak to us across time. Through our unique devising process, we invite these iconic characters into the room with us, working together to craft a series of experimental new works which will play in repertory with a concert version of Camelot, demonstrating how theatre can evolve to reflect our communities and address contemporary issues in ways that speak to all audiences.

Lerner & Loewe’s Camelot in Concert
• Sat, May 31 at 2:00 pm
• Sun, June 1 at 6:00 pm
At first shatteringly relevant in the wake of the Kennedy assassination, Camelot is once again an immediate and familiar story for generations who have watched the rise of dark powers after moments of great hope for change. The beloved classic is a tale of deep love and epic loss, unwavering trust and unimaginable betrayal – wrapped up in one of the most beautiful Golden Age scores by the legendary Lerner and Loewe.
This small cast edition features an intimate and magical reworking of the original script by David Lee, staged as one of Magpie’s signature “musical in concert…with a twist” performances.
