Another weekend closes at the Virginia Renaissance Festival.
This week we were overrrun with pirates, which was alright since we brought out the Shakespeare play with the pirates in it. Oh? You didn’t know? Hamlet is chock full of pirates! Well…the first draft was, anyway. Seems Willey edited most of them out and now it’s just a small little mention somewhere in the back there.
We had another great time all weekend, although I think I was beginning to come down with something Sunday morning. Luckily the laughter in all our crowds kept me going…and we even found some time to do Popcorn theatre!
We’ve only got one week left at Varf, so if you’re planning on seeing us, you best make it this weekend. And what better weekend to go: it’s Celtic weekend!
So come see us do the Scottish play, a play about England beating up on France (which was a veiled commentary on England and Ireland’s relations in 1599….no really….we actually read this stuff), and maybe even some cross dressing just for old time sake.
Oh what fools these Mechanicals be…
