Romeo and Juliet. Tristan and Iseult. Antony and Cleopatra. Bonnie and Clyde.

Some people are just made for each other. How they got together, how it all worked out… well, that’s what love stories are all about.

One love story that’s been around for hundreds of years is the hauntingly beautiful medieval tale of Eglamore and Cristobel, star-crossed lovers from long ago. Theirs is the story of a cruel father, three dangerous tasks, a fateful journey, and a love that will not be denied. The random winds of fate conspire to keep them apart. Will they lose each other forever? Or will love conquer all?

Actress and story performer Dolores Hydock, in the voice, spirit, and costume of a cranky crone, brings to life this original adaptation of a passionate 14th-century tale of desire, heartache, treachery, and the triumph of true love. The storytelling crone, as always, adds editorial commentary as she tells the tale; medieval music trio PanHarmonium lends musical punctuation on harp, hurdy-gurdy, lute, viol, recorder, and other instruments of old.

So far this season, we have, I think, a performance of new music by our friend Monroe Golden, and I think we will see the CD release party with Diane McNaron. I have at least seen the CD.
