The Death of King Arthur
T1135618006
Following his much-loved performances of Sir Gawain & the Green Knight, award-winning poet and playwright Simon Armitage brings another gem to the Playhouse stage. Narrated by the poet himself, with the help of actors and a musician, Armitage's masterly translation of the anonymous Middle English poem will bring the final chapters of the warrior-king Arthur's legend darkly and vividly to life. 'Simon Armitage reads from his elegant modern English translation in a storming seasonal treat... this staged reading is a brilliantly accessible route to a fascinating story.' Exeunt magazine on Simon Armitage's reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, 2014
