KING ARTHUR AND THE STOLEN SWORD

Calliope Theatre Company’s Play ~ Synopsis

Dagonet is tired of being King Arthur’s fool. She dreams of becoming a Knight of

the Round Table. She finally gets the chance to prove herself when Morgana Le

Fay, King Arthur’s half-sister, steals Excalibur. Dagonet and King Arthur must go

on a quest full of adventures and unusual characters to retrieve it.

England’s fate hangs in the balance as King Arthur (The King of Camelot! The

Lord With The Sword, and the Once and Future King!) and Dagonet follow

Morgana. With the help of the wizard, Merlin, a ‘terrifying’ giant knight, and

Fancy, a puppet with a mind of his own, they make their way to the Lady of the

Lake. Will they stop Morgana in time and retrieve Excalibur? Only with the help of

your students!

THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR

Pre Show Activity~

You may wish to begin by having a brainstorming session with your students.

Ask them if they know the difference between a real story and a legend. Ask them to

name some legends that they know. (Robin Hood, Zorro, or the Portuguese legend

of O Verão de São Martinho - Saint Martin’s Summer for example).

Explain that the story of King Arthur is a legend even though many people think he

really existed. Ask students questions to see how much they know about King

Arthur, where he lived and the names of other people and events in his life.

6


The Legend of King Arthur

Legend or History? It’s a Mystery!

The legends of King Arthur began to appear in the 12th century. They are thought to be

based upon a Celtic leader from the 5th or 6th century who protected his country. King Arthur

was raised and taught by and old Celtic wizard named Merlin and became King at the age of 15.

To become King he had to pass a difficult test. He had to pull a magic sword that was

stuck in a large rock. He married Guinevere and lived in a castle in Camelot. He had 12

Knights who sat at a special table. The table was round so that nobody sat at its head and

everyone was considered equal. Arthur’s knights always behaved with respect, courage, honour

and compassion.

While away, Arthur discovered that Mordred had taken control of his kingdom. He

defeated Mordred in a long, difficult battle but was seriously wounded and his magic sword,

Excalibur is thrown into a lake. When he threw the sword into the water a hand came out of

the water and took the sword. King Arthur was taken to the Isle of Avalon to get better. Some

people believe that he did not die but still lives today and that he will return when his country

really needs him.

Through the centuries, the story of King Arthur has been retold in many different ways in

books, movies, plays, and musicals. Whether or not Arthur was real, his story is like many

legends. The events and accomplishments in his life are used to teach us lessons about our own

life and the world around us.

Another legend says that the following words are written in Latin on

his tomb:

HIC JACET ARTHURIUS

REX QUONDAM

REXQUE FUTURUS

(Which means: Here lies Arthur, the once and future King).

7


Who was Morgana Le Fay?

Although we have taken great liberty with their characterisations, many of the people in our

play actually existed!

Morgana le Fay was a powerful enchantress in the Arthurian legends. Early works featuring

Morgana do not tell us much beyond her role as a ‘fay’, or sorceress. In later stories, she turns

into a dangerous enemy of King Arthur .

The earliest stories, Morgana was a healer and enchantress who

lived on the Isle of Avalon where Arthur was taken after he

was fatally wounded.

In later medieval stories, the character of Morgana changes

dramatically. She is often said to be Arthur’s half-sister. In

these stories, she becomes an apprentice of Merlin and an

enemy of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Through

magic, Morgan tries to destroy Arthur's rule. She tries to obtain

the enchanted sword Excalibur and use it against Arthur in battle.

In one of the legends, Morgana then steals Excalibur from the sleeping Arthur and throws it into

a lake, before escaping by temporarily turning herself to stone. Without the protection of

Excalibur, Arthur dies in his final battle.

8


Who was Dagonet?

Jesters in medieval times are thought to have worn brightly

coloured clothes and eccentric hats in a motley pattern. In

medieval times jesters entertained with a wide variety of

skills including principal songs, music, and storytelling as

well as telling jokes, acrobatics, juggling, and magic.

Jesters usually carried marottes. A marotte is a stick with a

carved head, or puppet, on it. The word is borrowed from

the French, where it means either a fool's "bauble", a fad or

a craze. The marotte often wore a costume similar to the

jester who carried it. Sometime more undiginified or riskier

jokes would be “blamed” on the marotte, rather than the jester

himself.

Sir Dagonet was King Arthur's well-beloved

jester, and a Knight of the Round Table in

Arthurian legend.

A jester, or fool, was an entertainer during

the medieval and Renaissance eras, employed

to entertain guests in the household of a

nobleman.

Dagonet’s tom-foolery was legendary. The jester once playfully

“captured” Sir Lancelot by leading his horse to Queen

Guinevere, and the noble knight was dubbed "Dagonet’s

Prisoner" to great hilarity. At one point, Dagonet took on the

administration of the Royal Court and bankrupted the household.

Your students will be invited to join us on stage! These are some of the historical people they

will be portraying.

Caesar defeated his enemies in the Senate and in 45 BC took control of the entire Roman

Empire. He declared himself “Emperor for Life” giving him absolute power. Caesar’s rule in

Rome would be short. In 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was murdered by members of the Senate, led by

Brutus.

Caesar reformed the Roman Empire and gave jobs and land to the poor. The Romans even

named a month after him, the month of July for Julius Caesar.

Queen Elizabeth I 1533 1603

Elizabeth was a different kind of Queen: quick-witted and

clever. But she could be as ruthless and calculating as any

king. Her mother was the ill-fated Anne Boleyn who was

the second wife of King Henry VIII. When Elizabeth was

two years old, her mother, Anne, was beheaded.

Elizabeth was aged twenty-five when she became the

Queen of England. The welfare of her people was the most

important thing to Elizabeth and she once remarked, “I am already bound unto a husband

which is the Kingdom of England.” For personal and political reasons, Elizabeth never married.

Elizabeth's greatest achievement was the relationship she had with her people. “... I have

reigned with your loves.”' she said and Elizabeth was rewarded with the devotion of her people.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar (60 BC) was a great general and an important leader

in ancient Rome.

When Julius Caesar said he had something to say, everyone went to

the Forum to hear his ideas. His ideas were good ones and the

people loved him. As he became more popular, he became more

powerful. The Roman Senate was afraid that he would rule

Rome and charged him with treason.

10


Boudicca

Boudicca was a Celtic Queen who lived nearly 2,000 years ago

when Britain was part of the Roman Empire. At this time, Britain

was divided up into kingdoms and each kingdom had its own

leader. The Romans quite liked the idea of these kingdoms

fighting each other because it meant they were less likely to join

together to fight the Romans.

The name Boudicca in Gaelic means “victory.” She led her

people to fight the Romans and won many battles.

In the ancient Gaelic culture, women fought as warriors and were

respected for their strength, abilities with weapons, and for their

wisdom. In her final battle, Boudicca realised her army was going

to lose the battle, so she killed herself by drinking poison.

The only description we have of Boudicca comes from a Roman historian of the time. He

wrote: "In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye

most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of bright red hair fell to her hips; around

her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a

thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. She raised her spear and struck fear into all who

watched her.

Elvis Presley (1935 –1977)

Elvis Presley was an American singer and actor. He is often

referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".

At a young age, people noticed that Elvis had an excellent singing

voice. At the age of ten he gave his first public singing

performance and also got his first guitar. Elvis loved playing the

guitar and he carried it with him wherever he went, even to school.

He learned to play by watching other people and listening to the

radio.

Elvis had a unique style of music and performance all his own. He

danced around on stage shaking his hips. At the time, many adults

were shocked by his music and dancing. Teenagers, however,

loved Elvis' music and dancing. They had never seen anything like

him before!

Elvis is still the best selling solo artist in the history of music

with with estimated sales of around 600 million records worldwide.
