Evening Sojourn in the Realm of Weir

Apr.27.2011

This is a charity fundraiser ($50 per person) with private invites from the author to attend a unique theatrical translation of four scenes from Book One of The Soulstealer War. While not yet closed, any requests to attend (Princeton, NJ area) should be sent via e-mail to WLHoffman@SoulstealerWar.com. Author reserves sole right and discretion to approve attendees.

Hear ye tales of the Bard of the Realm by the fire pit, or enter the Inn of Delvin’s Landing, where fine fare of the Realm abounds and tankards of wine, mead and cider clash in cheerful toasts. Said Bard of the Realm has paid silver for a troop of performers in costume to enact scenes from the legendary epic - The Soulstealer War – as well as provide live Celtic music by Draegn. Vignettes are expected to include swordsmanship and song, among other tidings. Performers will be mingling for good company throughout the evening, as will your Bard, who invites many a traveler to seek guidance on the trade of writing, and upon the fabled denizens of Weir. All Lords and Ladies of the Realm will be gifted a signed first edition of the Bard’s work, and all are encouraged to attend in costumed attire suitable of indoors and out (Medieval/Renaissance Faire style).

See attached Playbill for the Performance in other parts of this author's RedRoom page.
