    • Medieval Macabre (2)

      As a total off-topic thread, I wanted to let anyone who happens to be in my region of the state of Texas know that I'm starring in a very cool play that will be showing right here in Austin Texas for the remainder of October! If you'd like to see me in person, and watch an awesome scary/fun play done in the style of Skakespeare and his contemporaries, performed in a 3/4-scale version of the Globe Theater by torch-light, then this is the play for you!

      We did a version of this play (our own creation) several years ago,...and now it's back by popular demand!

      The play's a little funny,...a little bawdy,...and pretty darn creepy in many parts, with the kind of bloody mayhem you'd expect from the scariest parts of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries...(and even older, creepier tales from the ancient past)...just in time for the month of Halloween! Teenagers are certainly welcome,...but the creepy/fake-bloody/monster factor might be a bit much for smaller children... Just a fair warning!

      Here's the info!! And please feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might be interested!

      The play's called Medieval Macabre...and it's being put on by The Baron's Men at the theater of Richard Garriott, called The Curtain, down on his property by the lake (hopefully the weather will remain cool enough that you won't need mosquito spray)... It's a rustic setting with a huge torch-lit theater resembling London's Globe Theater, surrounded by tents and forest.

      Imagine a play that attempts to take the most chilling (and sometimes bloody) bits of the literary works of Elizabethan England, combines them with even more scary stories from myth and legend, and wraps them all up in a night of storytelling where you observe as these tales come to life!!! The ghost of Hamlet, the witches of Macbeth, the bloody vengeance of Titus Norse curses, terrible Grendel and heroic Beowulf, the legend of the first werewolf, tales of haunted mansions, shrieking banshees, wicked sea-hags, murder and mayhem all around!!! The stage is set as the owner of an old mansion on the outskirts of ancient London gives a brother and sister shelter from a storm after their carriage throws a wheel... As the evening begins, a night of entertainment turns into a crafty bet where the old, rich scholar claims he can prove,...by the stroke of midnight,.... that literature can indeed be terrifying....

      We will be running every single Friday and Saturday night in October, with an additional showing as well on the last two Thursdays (ten show nights in all)... So,...
      • Friday and Saturday the 5th and 6th,
      • Friday and Saturday the 12 and 13th,
      • Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the 18th, 19th, and 20th,
      • and Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the 25th , 26th, and 27th...

      Each evening of our performance, we open the property at 7:00pm, let folks wander around and look at the tents we have set up selling masks, small trinkets having to do with the play, snacks, and stuff like that... People usually start getting seated around 7:30 or so (first come first served), and then the performance itself begins right at dark (usually at about 8:00pm)

      Tickets (and more information about the cost of tickets, us, and our plays) can be obtained by visiting our website!
