Descent into Madness

Programme Note

Among all characters of the legends of kind Arthur a character of great significance emerges. No, that is not Merlin the Wizard, rather it is Morgan le Fay, Morganna… The witch, the fairy, the guardian and, in some legends, the traitor. The ambivalence of her character as developed though myriads of legends is fascinating. She is the force of good, and force of evil, a sister and a fae, a friend and an enemy all at once. Now, isn’t that a maddening experience?
