A Shakespearean Feast for Masque of Courtly Love

Any dietary concerns need to be given to THL Francesca de Onorati, the Feastocrat, by 2/18/2008. Feel free to email her at: francesca AT 4th dot com with any questions.

In order to offer as many people as possible places at feast, we are using 'common service'. Someone from each table will be asked to bring the food from the kitchen. We hope this will allow you to get to know your tablemates better and make the new folks feel at ease.
