“an absolute storytelling gem...”
“The sheer ENERGY of the brilliant Jon Buckeridge is second to none”
“Spellbinding Storytelling”
Merlin is old… really old. He’s lived twenty lifetimes and each one has made him more dismal and depressed than the last. Now a washed-up pub-singer with a serious drinking problem and an even more serious inability to die, his only comfort is to look back at times gone by. Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Camelot; the ghosts of his past are always with him. If you buy him a drink he’ll tell you all about them. He’ll probably tell you about them even if you don’t.
“a fabulously inventive, rip-roaring one-man show both performed and written by the next biggest thing in storytelling”
“Jon’s superb performance is a wonderful fusion of storytelling, comedy, music, and a smattering of sound effects technology that perfectly enhances the atmosphere.”
“Loved The Once and Future King, thank you for an evening of music, lore, magic and laughter!”
