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....

General information
The South Devon Players have an unusual raison d'etre; exemplified, in this project. The group, specialising in historical and mythological drama, are a group of local career-orientated actors and
creatives, who are unable, for various life reasons, or lack of resources, to move away to large entertainment hubs such as London, to make careers there.
For many years the Players have specialised in theatre, performing locally at the Palace Theatre in Paignton, and the Edge in
Brixham, but now want to bring their work to the film circuit to publicise the fantastic skills of local southwest actors and “behind the scenes” creatives across the world. The belief of the Players is that in order to find opportunities, they must first create their own.
Mordred is a collaborative showcase project by local people, to get local actors, (in an area used for a lot of filming but where locals are often overlooked despite talent/ experience) seen in a serious feature production,
Yes, grants etc for this sort of thing simply do not exist or are vastly over-subscribed, so we are having to find other ways to make this happen!
