Mordred - Arthurian stage show promo for Dartmouth & Dartington
Promo for the live theatre performances!
“Mordred”, is a gritty Arthurian drama, telling the legends from the point of view of Arthur’s much vilified illegitimate son, set in the 6th Century, drawing heavily from very early sources, including the Annales Cambriae, the Welsh Triads, the Mabinogion, and local legends in Devon & Cornwall, as well as more recent medieval sources. This drama is set in the 530s, against the backdrop of the Saxon invasions, heavily influenced by Celtic legends, Druidic traditions, and the earliest tales of Arthur, and his followers.

Light Side: A Journey with David Prowse (Official Trailer)
OFFICIAL TRAILER
Coming to cinemas from December 2019.
ABOUT THE FILM
With rare and exclusive access to David Prowse, the British actor who famously played Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, comes a new documentary bringing a fresh perspective to a celebrated and sometimes controversial career.
Besides playing the most iconic screen villain in cinema history, Prowse also featured in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, trained Christopher Reeve for 1978's Superman and was awarded an MBE by the Queen at Buckingham Palace in 2000 for his services to road safety awareness playing the Green Cross Code Man. This is not a typical 'talking heads'' documentary.
80-minutes. Dir: Marc John
