Medieval Times, A Quarter of a Century Later

Let’s rekindle the enthusiasm that Michael Camille (1958-2002) had for Medieval Times: Dinner & Tournament with a trip to our local castle! In 1996, Camille visited the Chicago venue with Ira Glass of This American Life to record a lively episode about the joys and foibles of medievalisms. To complement the exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, The Fantasy of the Middle Ages, the ICMA will take a valiant crew to the Baltimore location of Medieval Times. The visit includes pre-show festivities, such as the Hall of Arms and the Museum of Torture, as well as the famed dinner plus a lively joust set to an epic musical score. We’ll cheer for our knight of the realm in the presence of Queen Doña Maria Isabella!
