In 1987, our first year at PRF as Artistic Directors, Brian and I created and directed a series of Elizabethan Feasts for the holiday season. What a talented lineup of actors and performers we had! After seeing a number of other feasts, including the franchised Medieval Feasts (at the huge Meadowlands where the Queen standing at the entrance and posing with each patron for photographs to be purveyed later, was queried by Dave Donovan, "What's your name?" "I don't know," she replied, "No one ever asked me before.") and the Feast at Bube's (two performers and lots of negative assumption), we wanted ours to be better theatre. With our peerless ensemble and the $500 budget bequeathed by the Grand Duke, this series of shows was the result, and made alot of people happy.
