Next up in BSF's 'Shakespeare's Contemporaries' Series: the Baltimore premiere of Beaumonts under-performed gem. A sendup of courtly romance, The Knight of the Burning Pestle is the reason we stage Shakespeares contemporaries: Bill never wrote anything this bawdy or satirical.A normal play about a London grocer is interrupted by the audience and rewritten on the fly to become an increasingly absurd chivalric epic that leaves no target un-pricked.
