Knights of Iron return to Michigan Renaissance Festival!

[flidais]

Request please.....
Can you make sure that someone has a pickle on hand for McBain on Highland Weekend? 

Like that isn't going to happen!!!

If we pull off what we have planned, it will be classic, or should I say Vlasic!

I don't know what you all have planned, but I'm already laughing!

So no SINISTER at MIRF. Which will be missed, but now you've got me interested in this Robin Hood show. I remember the 3 Musketeers was that your group? Because that show was good. And I look forward to seeing this Robin Hood Show.

School of Villainy was our show this year for Silver Leaf, and, no, it will not be at MiRF.

The Three Muskteers -vs- The Pirate King ran 2002-03, and Legends Never Die ran 2004-05.  Both shows were Knights of Iron productions.  We also have done Robin Hood at MiRF in 2001, The Legend of King Arthur at Silver Leaf Renaissance Faire in 2005-07, and the show that will be at MiRF this year The Adventures of Robin Hood at Silver Leaf and Charlevoix in 2008.

Hope you enjoy our return to MiRF.  We are very excited about being back after a 3 year absence.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up. And just to let you know that School of Villainy was very funny. It'd be cool if you did that one at MIRF. But, your big productions are the big draw, I'm just more of a fan of the comedy action duo and you do well at that. In the big productions you have too many people stealing your thunder, but I know evryone gets along and it will be a great show. Hope evrythin goes as planned.

Hey, thanks for a great show.  Very entertaining.  Extremely well choreographed.  Some of my favorite shots from last Sunday were of your show.  Now if we could just get a little more sun next time around....

Thanks!  Great shots by the way.  I look really, really, insane as the Sheriff of Nottingham, which I suppose is good when you plan on killing Queen Elizabeth.  Not a great idea on the whole.

What's bad about those pics, is that it looks sort of like crime photos. But, cool pics just the same. L. Dale, you act with quite an intensity. I don't remember that crazy face at SilverLeaf.

Well, he *was* trying to kill the queen, so in essence, they were crime scene photos.   

And yes, he had quite an intensity about him.  I thought the performance was highly entertaining.

Well, I usually find Dale entertaining.  On so many levels!   

[Kathleen MacLeod]

Those pictures are awesome! I didn't realize Dale looked so demented; I'll have to sit in a different spot next time 

Just wait until you all see it in person; it's great. Whenever the Sheriff or Prince John is fighting, it's ridiculously intense and awesome.

William DeLacey, the Sheriff of Nottingham, is a pretty intense guy.  He is hired muscle to enforce the rule of Prince John.  I see him as a veteran of many wars, very experienced, and beyond caring about who he kills.  If they get in the way, they get dead.  No questions asked.  In Scene III he beats all of the Merry Band singlehandedly.  This is a SERIOUSLY scary individual.

When he sees things starting to unravel he begins to get more desperate, and much more dangerous.  The way he pulls Robin Hood off his game by telling Robin how he killed his father is a classic diversion technique.   

I played with the character a bit in rehearsals, trying different takes, but he ends up a lot of time playing straight man to Prince John, and Guy of Gisborne, who are WAY over the top.  I had to "pull him in" character-wise, as the characters started crossing each other up.

It's fun to play bad guys, as they can get away with just about anything...

It's odd how Zen I look about the fact that I'm mere inches away from being gutted.

And that you seem to have your eyes closed.

Are you using The Force?

Those pics. have got me interested more than ever now, to see that show. Been keepin an eye on the weather too closely, evrytime I listen to it they  say rain, the day rains only in the mornin then the day's beautiful. So hopefully this weekend. At some point I must make faire, I bought a season pass, so I should just go on a rainy day as well, I'll just hang out take in the feast and show at the castle and go home that day. If it's a total wash out.

I watched more of the story line this weekend.  I really do love the show.  My boyfriend has a slight crush on Will Scarlet.  My favorite character is the Sheriff, I love how the character is played.
