You're right, it was a bizarre choice, but the tickets were free. Medieval Times. We're 28 not 8, but fun was had.
Medieval Times is quite an unusual evening. Mostly unusual because even though you know the outcome of the knights fighting is set (and you know it both intellectually and visually. some of the fakes are laughably terrible) you still have this strange sense of 'green or dieeeeee' when your knight bounds out. Green knight was the badass backstabber knight. Embarrassing. But not as embarrassing as my friend missing the rose thrown to her by the green knight because her hands were covered in delicious chicken juice.
Verdict:
atmosphere - fun. you're expected to yell, which is liberating in itself. most people were our age. there were probably 20 kids in total. there's a lot of stuff (read crap) to buy. we also had the advantage of a really good heckler in the audience. good hecklers are hard to find.
performance - the story line and knights fighting is obviously for kids, but it is pretty strange. the horses dancing was incredible (although we did all feel sorry for the horse. mild animal abuse? i'm not sure), and i'm certain they were doing a complicated cha cha cha.
venue - every seat is close. the performers are right in front of you and the set up works perfectly for what's happening
food - LOADS of it. chicken was delicious. tomato soup was also decent. the rest of it not great. drinks were overpriced but considering the rest of TO beer prices, fairly reasonable for an event like this.
overall - pretty hilarious but won't be going again.
