(6)
The McGill University Department of English Drama and Theatre Program presents "The Knight of the Burning Pestle" by Francis Beaumont.
Please join us for an evening of fun, frivolity and ridiculously absurd satire: see heroic knights, fearsome giants, damsels in distress, terrifying jousts, star-crossed lovers, whimsical songs, and a hapless theater company trying desperately to put on their new play, while some unexpected audience members interrupt with unpredictable plans of their own.
This is the original comedy where everything that can go wrong does go wrong: Francis Beaumont’s hilarious satire and ode to the spontaneity of live theater: "The Knight of the Burning Pestle!"
