The Knight of the Burning Pestle


Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 7:30 p.m.

Imagine Homer and Marge Simpson buying tickets to a Chekhov play and then climbing on stage to redirect the show with Bart as the star, and you have some idea of the fun Beaumont unleashes in The Knight of the Burning Pestle. Loaded with laughter and song, this play is a celebration of the way Elizabethan audiences expected to be a part of the action. 

“The acting is engagingly casual, the staging fast and furious."
