A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court
adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
from the novel by Mark Twain
directed by Ian Belknap

Wander with Mark Twain as he time travels from the 19th century to 6th-century England through the eyes of Hank Morgan of Hartford, Connecticut.

After a blow to the head, Hank awakens to find himself transported back to the time of legendary King Arthur, where he astonishes the Middle Age with heroic fireworks, modern medicine and electricity. But will these tricks from the future ultimately hinder or help King Arthur’s Court? Meet Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin, Mark Twain and more, as they expose the foibles and fortes of both ages.

Adapted by acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher (Stage Beauty, Casanova, Tuesdays with Morrie) and directed by The Acting Company Artistic Director Ian Belknap (Hamlet, The Comedy of Errors), this clever satirical romp is a must-see.
