Character Descriptions for Roles in Camelot:

ARTHUR (M)- “The once and future king,” Arthur is at once wise, generous, compassionate, and boyish – rather unsure of himself, yet an inspiration to others. A rich and complex character.

GUENEVERE (F)- A young, spirited girl, who is quite caught up in chivalry and the exciting possibilities of a promising life. She loves Arthur, but is very much thrown by the arrival of Lancelot – the start of the famous “love triangle.

LANCELOT(M)- An abundantly self-assured knight from France who is a passionate disciple of Arthur and his Round Table. “The greatest knight in the world,” whose only weakness is his love for Guenevere.

PELLINORE(M)- A wonderfully funny and stuffily “British” old knight – provides the most consistent comic relief in the play. Dedicated to Arthur. Very eccentric.

MERLYN(M)- The famous wizard who teaches Arthur almost all he needs to know. He disappears after the second scene in the show.

MORDRED(M)- A truly evil young man, who was “sired” by Arthur when the king was young and naïve. A thoroughly and fascinatingly unlikable fellow.

SIR DINIDAN(M)- One of the three named knights who serve Arthur. This is the only knight we will audition – those who will be cast as the other knights will audition for this role. Dinadan is devoted to Guenevere and doesn’t care for Lancelot.

NIMUE(F)- The “nymph” who lures Merlyn away with her hauntingly beautiful singing. No reading is required.

TOM OF WARWICK(M)- A young boy, between the ages of 8 and 10 – on the small side. Our reason for leaving the theater happy.

CHORUS (M,F)- There are several other named characters, both male and female, which will be cast based on auditions for the above-named characters, and on singing tryouts.
