King Arthur Goes Incognito

There are some stories that continue to be told generations after they were originally written. The tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table still captivates those eager to hear about a noble king who triumphs against all odds. In 1960, Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner created a production inspired by T. H. White's 1958 novel, The Once and Future King.

In the opening scenes, we see King Arthur in a field, dressed like a humble peasant. Just by looking at him, you wouldn't guess he was a king. When Guinevere first met Arthur, she had no idea he was the ruler of all Camelot. Arthur was indeed king, but his appearance concealed his true status.
