Is the joust between Lancelot and Sir Lionel actually shown in some way or are we just told about it by the ensemble?
It's narrated by the ensemble - one of two huge moments in the show where that happens out of the blue. Then again, I'm not sure how else they would have been able to stage it more realistically. (In an Ivo Van HOve production, we'd just be treated to films of jousting, lol.)
Also, in terms of history, don't forget Henry VIII's jousting accident. |
