King Arthur’s Body

After debuting to sold out audiences at Asheville Fringe Arts Festival 2024 and then independently producing the show at The Be Be theatre in September 2024 the mostly local cast of King Arthur’s Body is back together again. Preparing to fly over the pond and perform for 20 nights at the mother of Fringe Festivals in Edinburgh, Scotland! The script has taken new form and… surprise, there is a new Lancelot in the mix. Come see the updated King Arthur’s Body for a one night only showing in Downtown Asheville!

The young King Arthur is ready for a wizardly lesson in the Erotic Arts. Buoyed by Merlin’s teachings, he pulls Excalibur from the stone, marries the powerful Lady Guinevere, and presides over the Knights of the Round Table. Lancelot, his closest friend and Knight, may just be more than a manly object to drool over.
