KING ARTHUR’S KITCHEN by Leslie Mildiner is all about heroism, great feats of daring, damsels in distress and good food. King Arthur is celebrating his birthday with his Knight’s of the Round Table. The great king’s hard working cook, the kitchen maid and the new- on- the- job scullion (cook’s assistant) are beside themselves with excitement and nerves preparing the banquet and especially the cake. Amidst all the hustle bustle of Camelot’s basement kitchen (and considerable ineptness by the young scullion Roderick), the cook regales his bedraggled staff with stories of how Arthur became king. Using kitchen utensils to represent important objects and symbols from young Arthur’s legendary feats the trio is magically transported into the stories and the adventures begins.

We are thrilled that renowned designer Yvan Morissette has designed a multi-functioning set and composer Bob Buckley has written an original score for the play. Wayne Specht, Axis Theatre Company’s Artistic Director directed this world premiere of KING ARTHUR’S KITCHEN.
