The full cast and creative team have been announced for the new production of Michael Morpurgo’s The Sleeping Sword, coming to The Watermill Theatre.
A tale about magic, mystery, hope, love, triumph and disaster, The Sleeping Sword weaves a contemporary tale of self-discovery with Arthurian legend in a way that is utterly spellbinding.

Every performance of The Sleeping Sword will feature the use of creative captioning and integrated audio description.
The Sleeping Sword is adapted from Michael Morpurgo’s 2002 book by Tatty Hennessy, directed by Lucy Jane Atkinson.
