The Mostly Medieval Theatre Festival (MMTF) is a performance festival showcasing and invigorating the global heritage of drama, music, dance, and performance styles from late antiquity through the Renaissance.
In 2025, the MMTF is proud to partner with 蜜桃社区 Theatre to produce a new dramatic adaptation of the Roman de Silence, the thirteenth-century romance about a transgender knight who goes on a quest to find himself. MMTF founder and associate professor of theatre Lofty Durham is crafting the adaptation and leading the ensemble of student and faculty collaborators for the production which will open the week of Congress and continue its run for local audiences in the following weeks.
