...double casting of Friar Lawrence and Prince Escalus presents less of a problem. Jeffrey Korn plays both; his low, reassuring, measured tone of voice as the Friar is easilv distinguishable from the more urgent tenor he gives to the Prince. But these two characters do not relate to the plot and to each other the way the other double-cast characters...
...ELSEWHERE, somewhere in the desert wasteland outside Solong, the wandering Prophet Motive (Leonard Dick) and his hapless sidekick Ahmed A'Boubou (Jeffrey Korn) are way ahead of their time, preaching the good 20th century values of capitalism and personal repression. Dick's enormous birdnest of a white wig and his well-developed evangelistic twang are all-too-familiar and consequently quite effective.

The entire play is essentially a flashback, beginning just before his first encounter with Lady Guinevere (Laurie Meyers).

This second act is comparatively heavy due to the sad unraveling of Arthur's ideals, but the acting compensates well. Korn is a mystified but never self-pitying king and the two lovers generate a high reading on the steamometer. The rest of the east is consistently supportive, but generally better at clownishness than solemnity. Mordren (Jon Tolins), Arthur's wicked illegitimate son, is especially adept at delivering bitingly sarcastic lines like "Ah, Camelot--where the King gives freedom...
