Play ‘Knight of the Burning Pestle’ at Idaho State University Feb. 8-9, 14-16

The theatrical performance "Knight of the Burning Pestle" will be presented by the Idaho State University School of Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16.

The show will be presented in the Rogers Black Box Theatre in the Stephens Performing Arts Center.

The play is being performed on the 400^th anniversary of its first major production.

"The resulting pastiche seems very contemporary and fresh. This production will be unlike any Elizabethan/Jacobean play you've ever seen," said Michael Helman, the business and production manager at ISU School of Performing Arts.

Francis Beaumont, a contemporary of Shakespeare, wrote the play. This play is rated PG – 13 and contains suggestive language and innuendo of the time period.

Tickets prices are $15 for adults; $14 for faculty, staff and seniors; $10 for children under 18; $7 for ISU students with valid identity; and $10 for groups with more than 10.

Tickets are available at the Performing Arts Center Box Office in person or by phone at 208-282-3595, Vickers Western stores in Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Pond Student Union Information Desk or online at www.isu.edu/tickets.
