Disenchanted
The Renaissance Festival: a ten-week Bacchanalia of food, spirits and weird accents, usually taking place in a wide swath of pasture, far removed from the Real World. In those ten weekends, epic stories are created, love is won and lost... but mostly, people just dress up in complicated clothes and try to get laid while absolutely shit-housed drunk. A huge community of Renaissance regulars, or Rennies, travel from Faire to Faire all around the country. There are so many festivals that those folks only have face the real world for a couple months out of the year. And really, isn't life simpler when you can camp out, barter for your needs and dress like The Tudors? The 'Enchanted Forest Faire' is managed by Ted Pern, whose career has taken some unexpected turns he'd rather not discuss. Lecturing teenagers at a fast food job was one thing, but out here it's all actors, and sexual harassment isn't forbidden, it's the norm. Now he's dealing with a hot-headed Knight punching the customers, an excitable psychic and a jester who has just got to be up to something illegal... Into this fray come three newbies, all looking to escape lives that aren't paying off as they had hoped: cynical everyman Hunter, trying to find some post-college direction; free-spirit Cassandra, eager to escape the gravity of her family's influence; and brash Peter, a former star college quarterback who lost his free ride after 'The Incident'. They came out expecting a few bucks, a few laughs, and several parties. What they find is a smaller world just as complicated as the real one, with hilarious rules all its own.
