Sep. 25th, 2010 07:57 pmI'm back in the Middle Ages right now and looking at a single section of the Miracles of Nostre Dame. I've never actually examined it before, which is a bit bizarre. It's for the novel, which is even more bizarre. This afternoon I was looking at climate change in the Herault, for the same purpose. All my worlds are in collision. Well, maybe not quite all.
What I had forgotten (because the Miracles were really too late for me in my earlier incarnations) was that the William tale (and all the other tales) in the Miracles are theatre. I'm wondering now how many people I know who would be willing to do a reading of the William section. It's fourteenth century French and so ought to be a doddle. And fun. And I'm totally sure I can cook appropriate food to accompany it.
If anyone would like to enact an evening of Medieval miracles, just say. It can be in Canberra almost anytime or in Sydney on the weekend of Freecon (although if it's in Sydney, I might have to provide recipes for potluck, if we want the food to work). Or elsewhere, if I can get elsewhere*. All you need is a respectable understanding of French and some enthusiasm.
I'm not actually expecting anyone will take me up on this, though I'd love to do it.
*I might (if the stars align and the finances sort and Leeds likes my proposed paper) be in the UK briefly next year, if UK friends feel in 14th century mode.
