A son and prince, Arthur, is born to King Uther, but will never grow up in his rightful home. The wizard Merlin comes to take him away, to save his life from Uther¿s many enemies and the jealousy of his half-sister Morgan. Merlin bids the good knight Sir Hector to raise Arthur. Hector never suspects the true identity of his foster child. As Arthur grows, Merlin uses his magical skills to teach Arthur important lessons about the world, changing him into various animals presented in the masque-play style. Meanwhile Morgan is growing up in a nunnery secretly mastering the arts of sorcery so that she can someday act out her jealousy towards her hidden brother. That chance comes at the great fair, where Morgan arranges a play that reveals Arthur¿s future and gives her the secret she needs to ruin him. But Merlin vows to oppose her and as the stage is set for their struggle Arthur draws the magical sword that proclaims him king... A delightful experience for young audiences and actors, full of charm and music and magic to inspire youthful imaginations!
