- Synopsis:
Camelot is a utopia where good King Arthur, his wife Guinevere and The Knights of the Round Table live virtuous lives until Guinevere develops a powerful attachment to a French soldier, Lancelot. Their love for Arthur and each other serves to disrupt peace in the kingdom. Lancelot falls madly in love with the queen while Arthur is entrapped by an evil spell cast by Sorceress Morgan le Fay at the urging of the king's illegitimate son, Mordred. When their affair is revealed, Lancelot fights his way out of Camelot, leaving Guinevere who is sentenced to die by fire. When Arthur returns from his enchanted imprisonment, he must decide whether to watch her suffer a painful death or incite a civil war. This production was part of the cable series "HBO Theatre", and is a videotaped presentation of the 1980 Broadway stage revival of the Lerner and Lowe musical.
