Adapted by playwright and screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher (Three Viewings, Compleat Female Stage Beauty, Scotland Road, The Government Inspector and The Turn of the Screw) and directed by Acting Company Artistic Director Ian Belknap (Hamlet, The Comedy of Errors), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is a clever satirical romp.
Humorist Mark Twain’s 1889 novel is often credited as the foundation for time travel as an important literary genre. Wander with Twain as he time travels from the 19th century to 6th-century England through the eyes of Hank Morgan of Hartford, Connecticut. After a blow to the head, Hank awakens to find himself transported back to the time of legendary King Arthur, where he astonishes the Middle Ages with heroic fireworks, modern medicine and electricity. But will these tricks from the future ultimately help or hinder King Arthur’s Court? Meet Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin, Mark Twain and more, as they expose the foibles and fortes of both ages.
