Summer fairs duke it out.

In the hands of anyone other than the Factory, a show about dueling themed summer fairs would be, in all likelihood, just dumb. But this is the Factory, so "Ren Faire!" is blissfully, hilariously, so dumb-it's-brilliant dumb. In Matt Engle's new script, the fake knights and ladies of a Renaissance Faire do battle with the fake cowboys and saloon girls of the Wild West show across the interstate. Early reviews say that "Ren Faire!" combines the usual factory virtues (party-sized cast, ceaseless gags) with unusually taut plotting and superb stage violence. If you ever wanted to see a Sir Lancelot throw down with a Wyatt Earp, get thee to it!
