‘Knight of Passion’, 1996

A comic take on courtly love gone madrigal, featuring knights in armour, a dim shepherdess and a flock of sheep. The story was constructed round 13th century love songs, sung unaccompanied in French. This subtle aesthetic was challenged at the Winchester Hat Fair when the cast had to compete with a chain-saw juggler on one side of the stage and a bagpiper on the other.
