Malcolm Guite’s ‘The Coming of Arthur’ is coming to Ottawa! Susanna Clarke describes this epic as “An astonishing achievement, a ballad that picks you up and sweeps you onward into adventure, solemn magic, and beauty.” Come be mesmerized by the documentary 'Merlin’s Isle: The Tale This Land Still Keeps', and then join the adventure of a riotous reading of part of the tale, led by its scripter Rabbit Room’s Pete Peterson (editor of Guite's Arthuriad, and a brilliant author & playwright). Bring your Python-esque coconut shells, and feel free to attire in cloaks, tunics, and lengthy beards. Staffs, shields, & lutes optional.https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/the-coming-of-arthur-2
“Though these Arthurian stories are tattooed onto my heart, Guite somehow brings them roaringly to life. Arthur is revived for a new generation, while also rehydrated for us old time lovers of the Grail. I don’t think anyone could achieve this quite the way Malcolm has. Soul & storytelling rattle their way through every line.” — Martin Shaw
