| I saw this paired down version at Westport a few years ago with Robert Sean Leonard as Arthur. It not only reduces the story into a fairly routine love triangle, it reduces the scope of the theme. There is no Court or promise of a new enlightened society that the Round Table encompasses. There aren't even any other women besides Guenevere (which makes Lusty Month of May a bit spare and creepy). With no pageantry, magic or grandeur you are left with the soap opera story. |
