But really. I never leave the stage.
The Knight of the Burning Pestle is opening at the Massachusetts Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies October 9-11 and 16-18. Ticket costs and showtimes to be announced. In the meantime, every rehearsal is a fun-through!
This 1607 Beaumont play is an overt cross between Shakespeare and Monty Python's Holy Grail. A troupe of actors has begun their rendition of "The London Merchant" when a Citizen interrupts and demands a play more to his liking. His obnoxious, bloodthirsty nouveau riche wife (Yours Truly) pipes up, offering her manservant to play the part of the chivalrous Grocer errant. Rafe becomes THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE and travels around the stage making the troupe's play a farcical mishap.
We can't stop laughing. There are coconuts and penis jokes for all. Come to the play!!!!
*Also if you want to be in it we still have two parts open. Eeeeee.
