ADAPTED BY JOHNNY SIMONS
Synopsis

Johnny Simons adapted this version from Mark Twain's classic tale after an enormously popluar Pinocchio Commedia published by I. E. Clark made his name a household word in a large area of the theatre community.

Have you ever wanted to turn back the clock and visit days gone by? Do you wish that you could have seen Waterloo with your own eyes or stood in the Colosseum with your own two feet? Come visit Camelot with Hank, a modern day factory worker who finds himself unexpectedly dropped into a land where wizards still roam the earth, knights joust in the cause of honor, and the most remembered of kings, Arthur himself, reigns in all his glory. Your audience will be delighted as Hank steps into this unknown land and immediately proceeds to turn everthing completely upside down. Armed with merely the basic knowledge of a man of the twentieth century, Hank astounds the uneducated population and finds himself elevated to a position of authority where he comes to be known far and wide as "The Boss." Things don't go smoothly for Hank forever, though, and he quickly finds out that things work very differently in Camelot.

2-act; set, the kingdom of Camelot in 528; Costumes, consistent with the more grandiose images portrayed in the popular King Arthur stories as opposed to the more historically accurate dress worn by sixth century Britons.
