Character Roles Covered:
TRADITIONAL WOOD CARVER
-see and hear how a Master Craftsman worked to obtain his status and watch him use traditional tools to carve wondrous artefacts by hand.
PEDLARS & EGYPTIANS
-meet some of the true travelling folk of the time. Peruse over their wares and barter with them-but have a care your purse is not taken from you first! Join in with some traditional games and simple songs and dance of the period. Be careful not to upset them-else they will put a "hex" on you.
POET & PLAYRIGHT
-converse with one of Elizabethan England's new breed. Listen and watch as sonnets are composed and plays written-not always for themselves mind you as there is good coin to be made writing for others!
Perhaps one day the whole world will know of these aspiring young men,whether their name be Marlowe, Johnson or Shakespeare!
