"Welcome Honored Guests
The 2009 Maryland Renaissance Festival opens for its thirty-third season in the Village of Revel Grove at its home in Crownsville, Maryland on August 29 for another season of mirth, frivolity and amusement. Original work by talented craftsmen and a feast of food and libations awaits through the portals to the time of Henry VIII set in sixteenth century English glory. Lift up your cares, partake and enjoy!
Let Merriment Abound! "
Apparently the webmaster is well on top of things and changes the news part of the front page each month! Huzzah!
. . .and if you've not seen it, here's the official storyline for the season:
"Revel Grove, Oxfordshire, England
The year is 1543. King Henry VIII and His Royal Court visit Revel Grove as part of their annual summer progress.
The King has now gotten over his grief from the betrayal of the young Katherine Howard, his fifth queen, and is looking to wed. Gossip is rife in the Court surrounding possible brides. There are some - including the lady herself - who feel that the King may take back his divorced 4th wife, Anna of Cleves.
Many ladies at Court do not welcome the prospect of being Queen. Not with the King's matrimonal history! One such woman is Lady Latimer, Catherine Parr. Twice-widowed, she finally can choose a husband for love. And she has found the man, Sir Thomas Seymour. Catherine wrote to Thomas, "My mind was fully bent...to marry you before any man I know."
The King, however, has other ideas."
