For October’s Directors’ Blog installment, we’re winding back the clock to 1997 for this article by then-Executive Director Mary Swope, all about that year’s Medieval Christmas Revels. While much has changed in the intervening 21 years, many important elements remain the same — not just the people involved, but also the spirit behind this joyous production that continues to resonate with Washington audiences years later. Enjoy this look back, as we continue to move forward towards this year’s Elizabethan Revels!
