As a footnote in the book of Winedale lore related to “Knight of the Burning Pestle”: In
the fall of 1984 a group of Winedalers from the early ‘80s classes – along with some of
their friends from the worlds of Austin music and theater – came together to work on a
production of the play, with evening sessions spent playing on the little stage in Calhoun
100. I seem to recall that there was no director; it was to be ensemble-led. The cast
list, courtesy of the Steve Price archives:
<image001.jpg>
I have fond memories of James’s sweet and winning Rafe… Mark and Elise were as funny as
you would imagine… I remember Steve’s exuberant Merrythought… Sadly the warning at the
bottom of the sheet – “Opening night is sooner than you think” – did not prove true.
Opening night never came; the company dissolved a few weeks into rehearsals after a few
key players left for various reasons and no one had the extra time that semester to plug
the gaps and rebuild momentum. I remember a somber final meeting in Calhoun Hall, with
all of us sitting around on benches and on the floor outside Doc’s basement office, as the
group decided to let the idea go.
It still gives many of us a pang that we never had a chance to see this Winedale-inspired
“Pestle” in its full potential glory… What a cast list!
Best,
cs

Subject: Knight of the Burning Pestle at Winedale
Hi, friends!
Do we know if there are any photos from the Winedale Knight of the Burning Pestle that are
shareable on here? What year was that? 1980s? KOBP and Shoemaker’s Holiday were the first
non-Shakespeare plays out at Winedale once y’all started doing full plays, is that right?
Or no?
I’m writing a chapter dedicated to KOBP for my book on citizenship with Arden/Bloomsbury
press and I’ve already given a talk based on my work using pics from the ASC Blackfriars
production. I’d love to incorporate/celebrate some images from Winedale as well in future
presentations!
Doc, how did y’all stage the citizen and wife when they say they’ll sit down on stage? Did
you use benches on stage?
Cheers, all!
Casey
