The Legendary King Arthur Comes to Easton Stage

“The Sword in the Stone,” a musical about the childhood of the legendary King Arthur, will be performed at the Easton Middle School on Columbus Avenue on Friday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m.

The show will appeal to audiences of all ages, both adults and children. It is based on the story of Arthur growing up an orphan in the castle of Sir Ector. He is constantly taunted by his adopted sibling, Kay, and threatened by the evil queen Mab and Arthur’s half-sister, Morgan le Fay. The magician Merlin and his assistant, the beautiful young sorceress Nimue, use their magic to teach Arthur the things he will need to know. Then one day, during a fencing tournament, Arthur miraculously removes the magical sword from its stone, and becomes king of all England.

The cast features students from Easton and surrounding towns, including Cameron Isveck of Norton who plays the traveling troubadour.

This production is being put on by Easton’s award-winning children’s theatre group, Easton Children’s Theatre. Reserved seating tickets are $10 and may be purchased in advance or at the door. For more information, go to ECTheatre.org.
