King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Introduction
Narrator: Welcome to the rich land of Camelot, a kingdom where the peace
was absolute and war did not exist at all. King Uther reigned Camelot with
kindness and strength and put his heart in his empire. However, Uther´s
feelings were corresponded by his reign, but not by the woman he loved,
Igreine…

First part
(Curtain opens)
(Uther appears in scene; he knocks Merlin´s door)
Uther: Merlin The Magician, I must enquire for your help, and I ought to pay
you back.
(Merlin appears in scene)
Merlin: My King, I was certainly not expecting your visit.
Uther: My apologies, Magician, but I found myself truly in love with Igreine,
however her feelings are indifferent to mines indeed.
Merlin: My dearest King Uther, I am willing to help you enamore Igreine, but
you are to promise to me giving your first and only child.
Uther: For what I am most grateful, old friend. And I promise I will give you
my future descendant.

them)

Uther: Merlin, do what you must do.

remains cold and serious)

Third part
Narrator: A short time after this happened, King Uther was very ill. He did
not get better. He called for merlin and spoke about the future of his kingdom.

London, in order to find the next King. The Magician put the sword Excalibur
inside a stone, which had these words on: “ONLY THE KING CAN TAKE
THE SWORD FROM THE STONE”.

Archbishop: Honorable men, the following king will be chosen when this
sword (points at Excalibur) is pulled out from the rock.

knights were the only ones whom could try to pull the Excalibur out…

expecting what future prepared for him…

(Arthur pulls the sword out)
Archbishop: Young man, it is you… you are our next King.
(The Archbishop bows) (Merlin appears in scene)
Arthur: I do not understand…
Merlin: Do not fear kid. I will guide you within your path to become the best
King of all times.
Arthur: I cannot thank you enough for your assistance, Magician.
Merlin: However, be aware of taking this magic scabbard with you anywhere
(he gives Arthur a scabbard), because an evil woman will try to take it away
from you with the sword included.
Arthur: I will not leave them, I promise.
