<p>Sir Perceval of Wales knight of the Round Table and liegeman of King Arthur loses his way in the forest on one twilight eve and comes to a barren rocky wasteland where the very air he breathes is sickening.  There he meets the mysterious ruler of that land the Fisher King who suffers from a hideous and crippling wound that cannot be healed.  Spending the night in the Fisher King's castle Perceval witnesses the procession of the veiled maidens carrying the grail a golden dish of magical power.  That night will set Perceval upon a quest that will see him turned into a pariah reject and recover his faith and ultimately be forced to face the prospect of a defeat he could never have imagined.</p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Drawing on the tradition of grail legends written by Chretien de Troyes and Wolfram of Eschenbach that recount the adventures of Perceval </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Cruelty of the Fisher King</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> is a meditation upon moral accountability faith and fate. </span></p>
