Bristol Renaissance Faire's Official Website.The one thing about Bristol I always look forward to watching is the Fight Cast. This dozen or so lot of people have a full schedule of street fights and the story arc to perform. And they perform them most excellently well. This year's plotline concerns "The Curse of the Phantom Plunder"(oooooh!). A mysterious treasure chest finds its way onto the ship of Captain Nick Cutter & his Seadogs (the good guys) and they bring it back w/ them to Bristol. The chest is allegedly haunted and cursed and said to possess any who look into its contents. The Seadogs fear it and wish it destroyed. However Sir Edward Coke claims it in the name of the crown by right of salvaging laws. He does not believe in the curse and he and his Guards (the bad guys) come at odds w/ our heroes all day long. And so it begins.
For information regarding the faire, check out the Bristol Renaissance Faire's Official Website.
