Camelot or Bust

Well, my big ol' Arthurian depository of knowledge is a big bust! The folder has gotten 9 views in a month. While I can be happy that 1 visitor thought I did a marvelous job of research and gave me a 5 star rating, I'm not sure whether I want to continue trying to push my forum. No one seems interested in that. Ahh, I'm being hard on myself, maybe once school starts up again for many and there's a college English major desperate for conversation about the code of Chivalry and courtly love, sonnets and mythology (or any paper that is sure to be the need behind getting one's hands on the information), then things will brighten.

Personally, I got to enrich my own inner depository by splurging on seven dollar nosebleed seats to the Hollywood Bowl's presentation of Camelot this past Sunday. My enjoyment was heightened by discovering just how rarely the Philharmonic tackles a musical production at the Bowl. A theatrical production is done one day only out of the year and only since the year 2000. Oh, to be the costume designer for a show that's only being performed once!

The growl of a voice that is Jeremy Irons' made the depiction of Arthur so true to The Once and Future King retelling. I was impressed to have made a serendipitous connection for the friend I invited along. He'd never seen Camelot (and I think wondered why he'd agreed to see it). But as the performers were announced, he recognized the actress in Guenivere's role from his own Yale graduating class. Ah, see there is a reason things happen as they do.
