Hi Andrew.... I work for King Richard's Faire as their public relations representative and it is fascinating that you are comparing two historically-based entertainment venues - very creative! There are two inaccuracies in your story, so please allow me to correct them. Like the other venue you reviewed, we have 80 acres of entertainment on eight stages, and also 1000 employees (cast and crew). We do not have characters that play "famous personages included Queen Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, and Francis Drake" (wouldn't want disappoint any Shakespearean fans!). Thank you so much for being a fan and bringing your family to a wonderful New England tradition; an experience, as you correctly deemed, an "escape your reality" experience. See you next season (we open September 2, 2023!).
Andrew: Good call to divert our collective attention as we get closer to the chaos that most likely will follow upcoming midterm elections. And as usual you provided your readers a fascinating overview of the 2 historical recreations . . . Hal
