welcome to the
INTERMISSION BAR
INTERMISSION CONCERT
YOUR "ELIZABETHAN" DRINK MENU
ALE - brewed at home or at taverns, this great source of Vitamin B is good for the whole family

BEER - direct from Holland, drink this ALE with added hops - foreign to Londoners in 1591 it might not be the first choice...but maybe if you're feeling a little crazy

AQUA VITAE - this restorative, almost therapeutic drink, ranges from brandy to whiskey, but it is what the doctor ordered...and Juliet's Nurse

SACK - Falstaff's libation of choice, 'nuff said

CANARY - another sweeter sack, this one preferred by Sir Toby, so...Sir Andrew is buying

MUSCADEL - Greek wine, oft enjoyed by  Petruchio

POSSET - modern day Posset is a creamy, citrusy dessert, Bill would have enjoyed it as a hot milk curdled with ale...and some extra sugar too

RHENISH - finally an unfortified wine...white wine...from Germany, that fool Yorick poured it over his head in Denmark once...Hamlet wasn't the only one getting into mischief at Elsinore...maybe if he had tried rhenish he would have been less melancholy

APPLE DRINK (with sugar and honey) - this is apple cider everyone - they did have apple cider

GRANATUS - basically fresh grenadine, pomegranates were just beginning to make their way to England and they would make a sugar syrup with it to flaver the...less than enjoyable water

SAGE WATER - like cucumber water but...with sage

WATER - drink with caution, Elizabethan water is...questionable

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.
-The Merchant of Venice, Lorenzo (V.i)

Trying to make your own at home bar while you wait to adventure out...or because you actually always prefer your own prices?
​Visit I MISS MY BAR and tell them Bill sent ya!

Looking for more Virtual Fun while we all wait for more live events to slowly and safely return? A few more Acts will be heading to your mailboxes still, plus make sure to check-out our COMMUNITY REHEARSALS, and be on the look-out because beginning May 1 our REVERSE TOUR | RUOT ESREVER will start to unravel.

for more on Falstaff explore Shakespeare's Henry IV part 1 and 2 or The Merry Wives of Windsor

for fun with Juliet's Nurse, pick up a copy of Romeo and Juliet

Sir Toby makes Sir Andrew foot the bill in Twelfth Night

and Petruchio waxes poetic on muscadel in The Taming of the Shrew​

The joy of theater is that it is many things to many people.
It is community coming together to take in art in shared spaces.
It is artists working together to tell stories.
It is voices being heard.
It is people listening.
It is feeling, together.

Whatever theater is most to you, we encourage you to share in all it is, and all it can be, and give yourself time and space in this moment to reflect on its place in your life.
