Hamlet in a Ford FiestA


++ Tickets now available at the Fforde Ffiesta website. ++

Yes, it's back again, and this time in May 2010, on the Friday 28th, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th May (The second public holiday weekend in May).

This is of course the 1985 Ffiesta, held in 2010 by the kind assistance of the Chronoguard, this year's sponsors. Many of you will remember the 1912 Ffiesta held in 1952, and the 1996 Ffiesta held in 2032. Well, this one's going to be even better.

The tomfoolery shall include:

** Reading from the Thursday Next 6 'work in progress' **

** Part Two of 'Hammerfall' (Part one was in the 2007 Ffiesta's programme) **

** Spot the Lobster Competition **

** Audience participation rendering of Hamlet, Prince of Zombies, the classic well-loved Shakespeare tale only told in reverse, with resurrections a mundo. Contains the memorable line where the undead Zombie Hamlet considers the existential nature of the Zombie's curse: "To not to be or to not to not to be?" **

** Hamlet Soliloquy speed trials **

** Stalls and memorabilia **

** Fancy Dress **

** Cool Prizes (The term 'cool' may be broadly interpreted) **

** Legion of the Danvers. Yes, those loons over at the Star Wars convention think they can have a legion of Storm Troopers? Well, we aim to break the world record of the most Mrs Danvers all in one place at the same time (current record: two.)**

** The 1985 room, where you can reacquaint yourself with the famed year **

** Poetry Competition - last time it was teenangst, this time it is Grayangst. **

..and much, much more.

There will be more details nearer the time, but make a note in your diary.
