A screenshot from our mini-series on Lancelot and Guinevere scenes from verse plays, featuring Nick Ritacco as Lancelot, Emily C. A. Snyder as Guinevere, and Colin Kovarik as everybody else! With plays dating back to the 1580's through to two new Arthurian verse plays written in 2019 (including The Table Round), we're digging into how well each playwright developed this timeless romance through the power of poetry.
Arthur Through the Ages mini-series will premiere in December 2020. |
