Camelot follows an idealistic young King Arthur, who hopes to create a kingdom built on honor and dignity, embodied by his Knights of the Round Table. His ideals, however, are tested when his lovely queen, Guinevere, falls in love with the young Knight, Lancelot, and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance.
Lerner and Loewe's Camelot – Small Cast Version has been adjusted to suit a smaller ensemble, making the classic more accessible to theaters and schools without a large pool of actors.
The Landless Theatre Company is dedicated to producing exciting and accessible art to cultivate new audiences for live theatre.
