Definition: "A Madrigal Dinner is a twentieth century re-creation of the Renaissance feasts held in the great baronial halls throughout England during the twelve days of Christmas. If you remember your history, the lines between the secular and sacred were pretty thin, and entertainment was slightly, well, naughty. The feasts included invited guests, wonderful pagentry and pomp, the court jester's somewhat bawdy humor, endless food, and fantastic music. One minute, the entertainment would be pushing the "decency" line, and the next, you would be treated to gorgeous religious works.
In the re-creations, all actors are in character, right down to the knaves and wenches. As a matter of fact, the performers waiting on the tables are supposed to totally stay in character, including using Olde English dialect. Most start with a processional of the king and his court and go through all the proper eating etiquette and serving order of the times. Also, a "masque" or play fitting the theme is presented."
