Has King Arthur Come Back?
"The Return Of The King"
The
legend of King Arthur ends with a promise - Arthur is not dead but
sleeping on the Isle of Avalon, ready to return to save England in her
hour of need. And that is where we begin...September, 1940.
Out in the English countryside near Glastonbury, the legendary location
of Avalon, Harry, Beth and Robin play at crusading for King Arthur as
Knights of the Round Table. When Charlie, an American girl,
arrives in the neighborhood, she's a bit of excitement in an otherwise
boring summer. But things get even more thrilling when an enemy
plane crashes nearby and the kids discover a mysterious stranger in the
wreckage. Is he a German spy, a lunatic escaped from the local
hospital, or might he just be who he claims to be - King Arthur, back
to save Britain? With varying degrees of skepticism and belief,
the kids accompany Arthur on his quest - first to London to retrieve
Excalibur from the basement of the British Museum and then on to Dover
to save King George VI from being kidnapped by Nazis! Can England
be
saved? Is Arthur who he thinks he is? And who is that
stranger walking on the cliffs of Dover? An exciting adventure
for the whole family, the Once and Future King is back in "The Return
Of The King."
This full-length play requires 2 girls, 2
boys, a young woman, an older woman and 3-5 men on a single set
with alterations. Read the whole thrilling story, available at Baker's.

"A Play About A Dragon"
Smack-dab in the middle of the Middle Ages,
Morton Montesque's troupe of travelling players happily believe they've

Stern. Actually, they've volunteered to slay a real dragon!
When they discover their mistake, it's too late to back out - but how
can they succeed where so many brave heroes have failed? And this

The Rain King, the Lord of Tears, the Master of Sorrows...
"After The Rain King"
Glory may be just a little kid but she's in
big trouble - when she opens a locked book she finds in an
old trunk, a mysterious stranger jumps out! "I am the Rain King,
the Lord of Tears, the Master of Sorrows, the Commander of the Darkness
in your soul!" And Glory is the one responsible for releasing him
from his prison and setting him free in the world again! Before
she can stop him, he kidnaps Pete and disappears back into the
book. To rescue Pete, Glory and her friends must follow and soon
find themselves jumping from story to story - battling pirates in
"Treasure Island," helping young Arthur pull the sword from the stone
in "Le Morte D'Arthur," facing down bank robbers in "Praire Rustlers"
and even becoming bugs! Can they save Pete, not to mention the
world, from this dangerous monster or will he cast his evil spell over
us all? A funny, chilling and imaginative play with an exciting
climax.
All you need is a single set with
variations, 4 boys, 4 girls, 1 man and 5-15 others, perfect for

History never really goes away...
"Ghost Rider - The Final Journey Of The Underground Railroad"
The Williams family has not even finished
unpacking when they discover that their new house is haunted! Who
is the ghost and what does it want? As the family tries
everything from Ouiji boards to psychics for help, we learn of the
house’s original owners - the Jameson family - and how they came to
join the Underground Railroad. Will Calico, Fast and Slow reach
freedom and their mother in Canada or will they be caught by bounty
hunters and sent back to slavery? And what does all this history
have to do with the Williams’ problem? And what does any of this
have to do with the dead, poisoned dog in the oven?
A great way to teach and learn about the Underground Railroad, "Ghost Rider" is a full-length piece with plenty
of comedy that requires just one simple set and offers lots of
opportunities for performers with its many roles (10 females, 10 males, 1 either). Why not order a copy from Baker's today?
