King Arthur, the most celebrated hero of British civilization, was a genuine historical figure. Credited with the decisive steps toward the making of a nation out of a tangle of warring fiefdoms, Arthur's story as the legendary leader of the Knights f the Round Table has been recast hundreds of times over the more that ten centuries since he made his first impressions upon British life.
Lerner and Lowe's Camelot is a Twentieth Century play about Arthur, in which the king is portrayed as a vulnerable person whose challenge is to make his kingship serve human value and community, rather than personal and political power. Playgoers share with Arthur the experience of this difficult human passage, an episode of betrayal by both those who love him and those who despise him.  -Robert Garrigues
