Before there was Arthur, before there was Guenevere, before there was Camelot and a Round Table full of Knights, there was Glenn, an ordinary boy with nothing going for him in his life. But one day his mother asks him to go to the market for some supplies and his fate changes. Here he finds the Sword, Excalibur, lodged firmly in the Stone and decides to take a chance on pulling it free. When he manages to pry it loose, he's immediately named the new King and what fate has in store for him next becomes anybody's guess.
The Untold Story of the Sword and the Stone is the story of what could have been. It's a broad, physical comedy performed in one act that is aimed specifically at young people; though it's not out of the reach of those of us who are a little older. There's humor for all kinds in this play. But it's tempered by the play's heart and the central message that friendship is more important than power.
