THE MISFORTUNES OF ARTHUR,
UTHER PENDRAGON'S SON


by Thomas Hughes


Friday 14 June 2019
Gray's Inn Chapel


Picture


A rehearsed script-in-hand staging of Thomas Hughes 1588 play,
performed in conjunction with the 'Inns of Court and Literary Culture' conference
King’s College London, 14 -15  June 2019

REVIEW ​
The Dolphin’s Back’s performance triumphed... [their] heroic efforts yielded both an accessible and powerful performance. I was not alone in wondering, as I left Gray’s Inn, which other difficult, dull, or allegedly unperformable early Elizabethan dramas might be similarly transformed by such a revival."
