The Medieval Times knight-and-meal entertainment show in various locations (in New Jersey and Texas) highlights a continuing social interest in Dark Ages folklore and history.
You see knights joust and battle in colorful and rather accurate colors, armor, and dress in an arena around which uniformed Medieval era 'wenches' serve food and drinks to paying guests from across America.
Dark Ages storytelling has been the inspiration of quite a few prominent films such as John Boorman's Excalibur, Jerry Zucker's First Knight, and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood.
Interpreting the Dark Ages into presentations engaging for modern-age audiences requires attention to detail and a flair for the dramatic, and it reveals a nice social investment in 'living history' education (and hands-on experience).
I went to the Medieval Times show in New Jersey as part of a school field trip when I was younger.
How can we coordinate history education with modern-day show business?
