I’m in LA, and not going to see this unless it tours, but having anyone in an Arthurian piece—be it legendary, as in various literary sources that comprise the Matter of Britain, or be it more gritty and historical, with Arthur as the late 5th century Romano-British warlord—that mentions Voltaire is going to have me muttering darkly in my seat.
Voltaire? The eighteenth century dude, the driving force of the Enlightenment? WTF is Voltaire doing in bloody Camelot?
