Apparently so.  I imagine that such a fat (and on places, let's face it, slow) book must have needed a fair bit of pruning, but I wish I was close enough/could spare the time to go and see what they made of it!

Interesting. It sounds as though he's hewing as close to the spirit of the book as possible, but because of what I know of Artos's issues with women, I'm not sure that would be a selling point for me. I wonder how it will play with an audience who might not all be Sutcliff fans.

It's certainly an ambitious project, and not the most popular of Sutcliff's works - on the other hand, I suppose Arthuriana always has an inbuilt audience.
