    Such a rare thing to find on UA-cam - a really high quality adaptation, beautifully and faithfully done. I've used it for a number of years now, when teaching the poem to my Year 6 class. It's a fabulous resource for engaging them and helping them to understand some of the language. Really very grateful to the makers for taking the time and energy to produce something so lovely!

    About 5 and half minutes in, and everything is completely brilliant and beautiful so far, but I have to stop and cheer because Jason Kingsley is playing Lancelot! His video series about medieval knighthood is OUTSTANDING!!! I'm so glad that Crow'sEye got him involved in this project! 👍

      Yes. I recognised Warlord and had to rewind to be sure of the face. No expert on horses but there can't be many white stallions trained to carry a Knight in full armour. At £10k it's an expensive costume, really glad to see it captured for posterity in an appropriate setting. Totally fits the mood of both the poem and the painting.

Personally I am just getting into the romantic poets, and I would love to see more reenactments like this one. Everything about this was so well conceived and executed.

    Wow the overall production is amazing the details are are so precise. As a craftsman I love the detailing on the boat to coincide with the Waterhouse painting. The acting is superb particularly the Lady of Shalott herself, I love it when the questioning look comes over her face as she first hears Lancelot . The poem itself is of course a master class in how to write a dramatic story, we are never told why the Lady is in the tower or how the curse came to be associated with her, this all helps to add tension to the drama. A beautiful production full marks to all involved.
