Synopsis:
" I am what you forced me to become!" snarls Mordred
King Arthur has ruled Dumnonia, the South-west peninsula of Britain, after being chosen as the Pendragon, after his defeat of the Saxon sea-wolves, at the Battle of Badon Hill, at the age of sixteen. His elder sister, once the Arch-druidess of Dumnonia; Morgan, consumed with jealousy, plots against the Throne, and is banished from Dumnonia after the deaths of Arthurs first wife Anna, and his baby son.
Many years later, a young nobleman is found, poisoned, on the moors. Brought to the fort town Isca, by Arthur's warriors, he is revealed to be Mordred, illegitimate son of King Arthur and also the victim of plots by Morgan. Father and son slowly come to trust one another, and eventually, Mordred, who is well liked by most of Arthur's followers, is chosen as Regent of Dumnonia, as Arthur battles a second Saxon invasion.
Unfortunately, not all of Arthur's enemies are on the battlefield....
Mordred is a feature film production, and stage show, being directed by Laura Jay, one of our founders.
A gritty, dark tale, Mordred is an Arthurian-era drama, heavily influenced by the earliest legends of Mordred, who is traditionally seen as King Arthur's arch-nemesis, and illegitimate son. In the earlier legends, Mordred is much more of an ambiguous character, and not pure evil, as in modern re-tellings, this film tells of the legends, from Mordred's point of view.
This drama is set in the 530s, against the backdrop of the Saxon invasions, heavily influenced by Celtic legends and Druidic traditions, and the earliest tales of Arthur, and his followers. The film will be made across South West England, with as much use as possible of actual Arthurian locations, and ancient sites, in Devon and Cornwall.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO SOME VIOLENT SCENES AND STRONG LANGAUAGE, THIS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR SMALL CHILDREN, WE WOULD RECCOMEND TEENS & ADULTS ONLY.
