King Arthur Purcell

Public

Approved

Director Boo Wild injected some wonderfully zany, Pythonesque humour into Purcell’s opera. Following the solemn opening scene sacrificing white horses to the gods, we had Arthur’s army steering their way through Kentish mists, past a series of traffic cones and a Diversion road sign to a sheer cliff fall. The famous  passacaglia featured a gigantic heart of paper rose petals laid out by the chorus on the floor.

The ‘frozen chorus’ saw Grimbald emerge from a huge fridge in a rubbish dump strewn with a mattress and other junk. Cupid stripped off her boiler suit to reveal a bikini beneath and wrought her enchanting powers of love, while Honour appeared in a Union Jack costume in the final pageant where the two battling kings resolved  their differences and all ended happily.
