One Man and His Masks – Arthur: Britain’s Making

Bardic storytelling. An alternative Celtic version of King Arthur’s legend as an Invasion Games sports broadcast. Fabulous masks, battle poetry, romance, elegy and drum. ‘A triumph … I like the merging of Welsh legend, French courtly styles done sardonically and modern scepticism, football effects, the Celtic voices, the mixture of chanting, music and lyric styles. The jokes work well and it is never dull. Wonderful.’ (Professsor Andrew Hadfield, Sussex University). ‘One Man and His Masks – Boudicca’s: Britain’s Dreaming’, in repertory on alternate evenings, tells Boudicca’s story as a punk rock tour.
