The story of legendary King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Morte d'Arthur was directed by Gregory Doran and adapted by Mike Poulton, based on Sir Thomas Malory's stories. Malory was an English writer who lived from approximately 1405 to 1471 and is assumed to be from Warwickshire. It is thought he wrote Le Morte d'Arthur while he was in prison and the books were first published in 1485. This show, which played on the Courtyard Theatre stage in 2010, brought the familiar and not-so-familiar tales of Britain's first great epic to life. The play traces Arthur's rise and fall, from the sword-in-the-stone and the foundation of the Round Table, to the Holy Grail and the adultery of Launcelot and Guenever.
