For a long time I haven’t written here and lots have happened. This year the guild elders all went to Medieval week in Styringheim. The Medieval week is a big festival for all in the town of Wisby, Gotland. Wisby is a preserved medieval town with a fantastic wall around. The whole town “celebrates” the year of 1361 and the historic fact of that time. This year it was 650 years since the big battle of Wisby. A big reenactment battle at the site was put on for all tourists to see.
The guild elders had two official workshops booked at the Kapitelhus-gården(loosely translated Chapter house) in the middle of Wisby, a medieval house from around 1200s. The workshops were open for the public but unfortunately they were not announced in time, so only a few came. At Monday we held the workshop “Fight and die like Shakespeare” and two youths came. At Thursday we held the workshop “Mad and in love like Shakespeare” and a mother and here daughter came. Both workshops were a success for those who participated but I would have been nice if there had been more participants.
During the week we also had a guild meeting In Styringheims tent camp outside the town. It was a very nice meeting where we read a play of baron Agilmar out loud. We laughed a lot and applauded the baron’s skills of writing afterwards best diet pills for women.
We also had the time to go to a theatre performance at Roma, an old monastery ruin from the 1100s where they played Shakespeare’s “Twelfth night”.
In conclusion we all had a wonderful week.
