Great mystery surrounds the legend of 6th century Arthur to this day, freshly aroused by the discovery of the "Arthur Stone" in 1998 which renewed the contemporary comparisons between the bright hope of Arthur's Camelot and the Kennedy era. At the heart of the passionate debate is the great human need to believe that a just and brilliant leader will arise in the darkest of times, inspiring new hope and a bright vision for the future. Thus we present Arthur's dream with a fresh perspective - as the vision of hope arising from darker times, captured in this stunningly beautiful, timeless musical.
