About Before the Sword

By Andrew Alty Directed by Ed Decker

World Premiere Commission Sept 15 - Oct 15, 2023

In a small British village in 1936, author T.H. White stares at the blank pages that will become his future masterpiece. Enter Freddie, a young misfit with a mysterious past who is looking toward an uncertain future. After agreeing to tutor Freddie, White finally finds his muse and begins to write the timeless tale The Sword in the Stone – inspired by his new student and the ancient legend.
