2025 Scenario Image

2025 Scenario

The year is 1590, during the golden age of Queen Elizabeth's reign. While her subjects once eagerly awaited news of her marriage, they now accept her status as the Virgin Queen, as do her advisors. This, however, raises a crucial question of her successor. With no heir, who will inherit the throne upon her death?

Queen Elizabeth has resolved to identify her successor through a series of tests, and where better to conduct such trials than in the Shire of Mount Hope? She has invited two leading candidates: her cousin, Lady Arabella Stuart, a strategic and intelligent woman, though lacking practical experience; and James Stuart, son of the late Mary, Queen of Scots, already King James VI of Scotland, known for his diplomatic skills but also his volatile temperament. Queen Elizabeth will enlist the people of Mount Hope to assist in evaluating these potential monarchs. She anticipates their enthusiastic participation—perhaps even overenthusiasm. But what else could one expect from a visit to the shire of Mount Hope?

Queen's Court

Join the people of Mount Hope as they greet Queen Elizabeth and her Court and celebrate the defeat of the Spanish Armada! Not only does her Majesty come victorious, but she's brought gifts! The Guild's of Mount Hope are eager to claim their share, but when some sibling rivalry gets in the way, Her Majesty has an idea that will turn the day on its head!

Tournament of Arms

*Loud Noise Notice: Whip Cracking - Mount Hope's Guilds have been competing all day through acts of astounding revelry, but at the Tournament of Arms anything is possible. Cheer on your Guild as they send combatants to fight one another for points. Standings will rise and fall, relationships will be tested, and some Guilds may go to great lengths to ensure victory.

Ultimate Joust

*Loud Noise Notice: Canon Fire, Explosions, Fireworks - Two Guilds stand poised to win it all, and either one's victory rests on the results of a joust TO THE DEATH! Watch as brave knights on horseback test their mettle against each other to satisfy their honor, and to determine the day's victor. Fame, fortune, and life itself are on the line at Bosworth Field!

Finale Pub Sing

*Loud Noise Notice: Possible Whip Cracking - The Tournament of Guilds may be over, but that doesn't mean the revels need to stop! Join the Queen, her court, and all the people of Mount Hope for a final celebration in song, dance, and heaven knows what else—all led by the musicians of the shire! A joyous way to end the day.

Boarshead Brawl

*Loud Noise Notice: Whip Cracking - Old Gibbs has been murdered! With no one able to prove they should be the new owner, the Boar's Head Inn has been shuttered, its tables covered, its tap run dry, and its halls left empty… Or are they? Join us for this action-packed, comedy, stunt, and combat show, to find out what lurks in this ancient establishment, be it man, monster, or something much, much more ridiculous.

English World Wrestling

Mt Hope is honored to once again host the EWW Championship match. Witness lifts, pins, and power moves as caped combatants enter the ring and grapple for the title of English Wrestling World champion!

Whose Jest Is It Anyway?

The wittiest of the shire's citizens gather without the foggiest idea of what they're actually going to do. I guess they'll just have to make it up! Enjoy dazzling displays of improvisation, and see the show that audiences have called "a laugh riot", a "goofy mess" and "a show that's happening right now". Get there fast enough and they may even take your suggestion!

Disasterpiece Theater

There is one place where fine crafts, revels, merchandising, civic responsibility, and lying meet: The Theatre! Join the best actors Mount Hope has to offer (who also happen to be available at 5pm and willing to work for something nebulous known as "exposure") as they produce a new Shakespearean parody of a modern movie or TV show that changes every 2 weeks. To call it a "Masterpiece" may be a stretch… let's just stick with "Disasterpiece".

The Rakish Rogues

*PG-13, Viewer Discretion Advised - Kick back with the Rakish Rogues as they sing bawdy ditties, tell outlandish tales, and take turns sharing their single brain cell. Once a high-paced heist team, these four lovable rascals are (mostly) retired, freshly perspired, and ready to get weird!

The Sirens

*PG-13, Viewer Discretion Advised - It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it! Even with a busy schedule of suspicious activities, the Sirens are here to bring you a festival day full of keen wit, tight harmonies, and a dash of criminal conspiracy. Just be glad it's their day off.

The Rogues & Sirens Combined Pub Show

*PG-13, Viewer Discretion Advised - Whenever this group of merry miscreants gets together, there's no telling what debauchery may ensue! Grab a pint and enjoy the carnage as the Rogues and Sirens combine for indecorous tunes, irreverent banter, and general shenaniganry.

The Celtic Revels

After a long tour, Mount Hope's very own Celtic Revels are back with a spectacular homecoming show! That is, if they make it to the stage on time… Join the Revels twice a day on a journey through familiar Irish and Scottish favorites with singing, dancing, and maybe even a visit from the Fae Court!

Music with Her Majesty

From energetic ensemble numbers to mysterious secret guests, each Guild has prepared a special piece of tournament revelry to impress the Queen! With plenty of "friendly" competition, come witness this all-out musical battle judged by one of the Shire's premier musicians—Queen Elizabeth herself!

The Messy Puppeteers

The finest puppeteers in all of England have been preparing the perfect performance for Elizabeth's visit to the Shire. Unfortunately, they got sick in Wales. Luckily, three friends found their luggage and are ready to present the finest show they could come up with in the last two days! Antics ensue as three amateurs turn puppetry pros in the Messy Puppeteers!

Trial and Dunke

*PG-13, Viewer Discretion Advised - While the guilds of Mount Hope quarrel, a mysterious society meets under cloak and darkness at the Boar's Head Inn where initiates must be put through secretive tests to be deemed worthy. Will they pass their trial, or will they face the putrid fate that is a dunk in the Boar's Head pool? Also what is this secret society all about? Who even are they? Will there be cake at the meeting? There's only one way to find out…

Bloody Best Shakespeare

*PG-13, Viewer Discretion Advised - Welcome to the monthly meeting of the "Shakespearian Helpers In Theatrical Education". We're glad you could join us for the presentation of four of the bard's beloved works. What these villagers lack in experience, acting chops, and the ability to read they make up for in enthusiasm, and you can be sure they'll give it their bloody best! Now with 75% more blood! Warning: not for the squeamish, or Shakespearean purists.

Off the Cuff

"Off The Cuff" is back and bigger than ever for year two at Mount Hope! Enjoy a show full of high energy improv and musical talent. Catch this merry group sing, flyt and improv their way through your suggestions!

Peasant Dance

On a festival day, it's important that everyone be well-versed in the proper ways of cutting a rug Renaissance-style! The Court Dance Mistress teams up with the shire's high roller to teach you the ways of folk dancing across 3 songs.

Queen's Cavalry

Even on a festive day, the Queen is always searching for nipperkins willing to join her royal cavalry! The shire's Stable Master and Goldsmith have prepared games to test your children's aptitude. If they succeed, they will be sworn in as members of the Queen's Cavalry!

Mount Hope Players Trunk Shows

In order to properly entertain all of Mount Hope's guests, the Master of Revels has seen that members of the Shire prepare entertainments fit for the whole family! Enjoy interactive storytelling perfect for anyone young, young at heart, or just tired and needing a place to sit and be entertained for a while! This year's Trunk Shows are: "The Legend of Black Shuck", and "Loki Liesmith and the Case of the Missing Hammer"!

Barque Scarlett Band

A crew of privateers ashore once more to treat Mount Hope to their favorite sea-songs!
