King Arthur, Sort Of...
In honor of their 5th anniversary, The ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น is presenting a condensed version of their season in 2022. Normally a four-week season following an extensive submission and selection process, they have decided to produce six works from local BBTF alumni all in one weekend. Selected from over 100 fantastic productions is Edgar Chisholm's ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป, where I have been cast as King for this event.
Long ago a young African princess is forced into an arranged marriage with Ramses the living god of the greatest civilization on earth. The princess resists with every fiber of her being. Fighting for her own choice in the only way she knows how; with her wits and her courage. Then surprisingly, she meets this Pharoah and she is smitten. Thus begins a Shakespearian epic adventure with heart-rending turn arounds, and dangerous swordplay amidst an ancient but accurate historical backdrop.
