MORE CHIVALRY! MORE RIVALRY! MORE REVELRY!
MEDIEVAL TIMES DINNER & TOURNAMENT DEBUTS BRAND-NEW SHOW IN JULY!
Two Years in the Making, Audiences will Enjoy Jousting, Horsemanship, Falconry and Fun
Hear ye! Hear ye! King Carlos and the court at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament invite the lords and ladies of Atlanta to travel back to the 11th Century as the castle debuts a brand-new show. Set to premiere on July 19, the launch will mark the attraction’s first new program since 2007!
“The new live performance will give our guests a one-of-a-kind experience that will keep first-time visitors and returning fans on the edges of their seats,” said the Atlanta Castle’s new General Manager, Ingrid Hunt. “The new show features something for everyone, and we’re thrilled to be able to share it with audiences beginning this summer!”
While the show will offer many new elements and a fresh storyline, some of the most popular traditions remain. Familiar highlights include the highly-skilled stars of the show -- both two- and four-legged performers -- with a utensil-free meal served in the castle arena.
The Show
Almost two years in the making, the new live production delivers even more audience favorites such as live jousting, sword fights, horsemanship and falconry. Guests are taken back in time and encouraged to cheer for one of six Knights of the Realm, named after historic regions of medieval Spain.
In addition to the storyline, the production includes a number of other updated components, including new costumes, theatrical lighting, horse dressage elements, choreography and battle scenes, as well as an entirely new musical score custom-composed for Medieval Times and recorded in Kiev, Ukraine.
“In a sense, we’ve gone back to the basics,” said Leigh Cordner, Medieval Times’ Creative Director. “Guests will see a celebration of the horses along with more action and elements of high drama. The streamlined plot allows more concentration on the action.”
After the opening, which will feature a mesmerizing performance by the Liberty Horse, guests will witness intricate battles, which are precisely planned sequences that have been practiced daily. Director of Stunt Choreography, Tim Baker, began developing the fight sequences shortly after Cordner started writing the new script.
With authentic weaponry and enhanced armor, the new production presents non-stop action tied to the tempo of the music. And while there’s still a general theme of good versus evil throughout the show, guests will see much more of what they like most – fight scenes that maintain the highest quality of action-packed entertainment and safety standards.
The Feast
Guests will enjoy an upgraded menu for the utensil-free meal during the new performance. The menu includes:
- Pureed Tomato Soup
- Garlic Bread
- Oven Roasted Chicken Half
- Larger BBQ Spare Rib
- Herb-Basted Potato
- Apple Pastry
- Larger Beverage Servings and Coffee
