Irwindale’s Renaissance Pleasure Fair\u00a0(April 2-May 15, 2016) with events such as “Green Eggs and Hamlet”, a\u00a0tragicomic mix of Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss,\u00a0exemplifies scholars’ claims that\u00a0English Renaissance is a modern invention\u00a0lacking a\u00a0real tie to\u00a0the artistic achievements and aims of the Italian Renaissance. Does anybody care? “Ren” fairs are fantasy events in which\u00a0people get dressed up in costumes and pretend. There’s drinking, dancing, games, jousting, knights in armor, music and merry-making. Guests are encouraged to\u00a0‘ditch’ personal devices for maximum ‘authenticity’ and interaction\u00a0with others. Whatever these popular festivals\u00a0represent, they resonate with Californians looking for simpler times and an Age of Enlightenment.<\/p>\n
