ROCHESTER - Lords and ladies from across the land are cordially invited to join the gentry from the Kingship at the Castle on Charles for a wedding feast and an all new evening of great pomp and circumstance.
The Castle will be staged for this grand occasion on Nov. 11, 12, 18 and 19. Indeed, each of these nights shall be a night to remember, an opportunity for guests to join Her Majesty Queen Octavia Lucretia for her wedding ceremony and dinner reception in the Great Hall of this former church now fortified as a Castle.
There will be much music, merriment and mirth, and all the pomp and circumstance of the 17th Century. For on this night The Queen shall be married to Lord Dregg, despite the conniving of Lord Mawbry and Mistress Duncan. Dinner guests may cheer their favorite lord or lady in a battle of wills, medieval style, with courtly and not-so-courtly games
In this unique theatrical presentation not requiring any additional sets or props, this show takes place in an old Episcopal church built as a Castle, featuring a 40 foot tower with crenelations, interior arches, Gothic lanterns, iron chandeliers and a huge stone fireplace. The dinner - with eating utensils only available upon request - will include medieval starters such as ribs to maw on, a hearty lentil soup, robust bone-in chicken served with fingerling potatoes and vegetables, and a medieval dessert. Grog, mead and other beverages will be served by the lively wenches of the Castle.
The evening will be filled with lively, humorous songs while guests frolic, feast and flagon. Songs include "Let them east cake" and "A manly lament."
The show, performed by seasoned actors, musicians and singers, will wittily celebrate the relationships between men and women, the basics of human nature, as it was in the middle ages and much as it is today. The scenes revolve about romance, passion, desire and all of the human quandaries that come with it.
The show is produced by Herman Ejarque, directed by Denise McDonough and also stars Mike Morris, Sarah Shanahan and Doug Decker.
A limited number of tickets ($37 on Fridays and $42 on Saturdays, includes gratuity and the King's Tax) are available at www.CastleNH.com. Guests are encouraged to dress in medieval garb. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Castle on Charles is located at 19 Charles Street in Rochester, nearby two public parking lots.
