By Francis Beaumont, Directed by Caitlin Lopez
Part of the Midsummer Shakespeare Festival
performed at the Sontag Greek Theater, Pomona College
A joyful celebration of the universal capacity to improvise, this delightful
Elizabethan comedy is a rough and rowdy romp filled with MUSIC and
MERRIMENT! As a group of players gathers to present a play about the
elopement of star-crossed lovers, they are abruptly interrupted by a grocer and
his wife. They have a different kind of play in mind–an outrageous hero’s quest of derring-do…The Knight of the Burning Pestle. And they know just the fellow
to star–their apprentice, Rafe.
This new subplot–invented on the fly–takes over
the stage in surprising and disruptive ways.
