Journal Article
The Knight of the Burning Pestle
2014
Overview
The new playhouse is a very small venue in which the potential commercial success of a given play is not as determinant a factor in programming it as it is in the larger main house, in which a sustained inflow of cash from the box office is needed to keep the unsubsidized theater afloat. Eventually, he stormed off the stage yelling, \"My best speech ruined!\" The rest of the cast provided other riotously funny moments, such as the wooing of Princess Pompiona, played by Tim the Squire from the gallery in cloth of gold and a pointy hat but with a very obvious beard and a strong Eastern European accent. In the middle of Rafe's battle with Barbaroso, Tim was lowered from the heavens through the trapdoor, somersaulting in mid-air while hanging from two ropes, and came to the rescue, only to disappear again through the ceiling after picking up the board announcing the fifteen-minute \"Privy Break\" at the end of act three. The addition of interludes between each of the acts-three fourminute intervals one longer break-clearly delineated the structure of the play and provided further opportunities for musical and comic entertainment.
