    What a lovely gift the theatre world is going me for my birthday — A production of a new ten-minute play and a reading of a new full-length play.  If you live in Massachusetts and would like to attend either event, here is the relevant information.  Maybe we’ll see you there?

    King Arthur in Contemporary Connecticut

    a full-length play by James C Ferguson

    Thursday, March 14, 7:00 PM

    Trident Booksellers & Cafe  338 Newbury Street  Boston, MA

    Please join the Vagabond Theatre Group for a reading of local playwright James C Ferguson’s KING ARTHUR IN CONTEMPORARY CONNECTICUT!

    In the middle of a battle with the evil Mordrid, King Arthur is suddenly and magically transported to the twentieth century, where he’s faced with continuing his quest for the Holy Grail. In this comedy/satire inspired by Mark Twain’s famous work A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, the Has-been King Arthur meets up with the wizard Merlin (who of course–being a wizard–is immortal ) and the ghosts of friends long past to settle scores and forge a new future.

    As with all TWBW readings, admission is FREE, though we do suggest a donation of $2 to help us continue to hold events like this and bring fresh, new voices to Boston audiences.

    So, arrive early, grab a drink and a bite to eat in Trident’s cafe, and support small theatre!

    RSVP on Facebook and invite your friends!
