In the Lanes...All the Faires a Stage! Our resident core of professional actors will transport
you back to Renaissance times by portraying characters from Warwickshire, England circa 1585.
Look for them everywhere; royalty, rogues, merchants and wenches fill the lanes with hilarious
interactions with you our "fellow citizens of Warwick". A meeting with a member of the infamous
Bless the Mark Players may be the highlight of your day: solve a dispute, help a washer wench with her
laundry, consort with rogues, revel with royalty, get married, arrested, or have your mettle tested.
