Sword In The Stone

Sword In The Stone

With a darkness engulfing the world, and their magic starting to fail, Merlin must hurry to find a pure heart to lift the sword from the stone and set things right. When they meet down-on-their-luck teenager, Art, things start to slot into place…but the pair have got a long way to go, and very little time to spare…

This new version inspired by the Le Morte D’Arthur legend catapults us into the modern day. This production is full of magic and mayhem, as Merlin and Art work together to save the day from the monstrous Nimue and her forces of evil.

Theatre Royal’s Summer Young Company is a 3-week long summer experience giving young people aged 11-18 the opportunity to work with professional industry creatives on a brand-new piece of theatre. Our cast of young people rehearse and work on the new adaptation for two weeks before performing on the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmund’s historic stage. Our Summer Company participant will receive professional training in all aspects of theatre alongside building real-world skills such as problem-solving, communication and teamwork.
