Weaving more magic (and jam)
Deer Isle’s Nellieville continues to evolve
DEER ISLE Nellieville, Deer Isle artist Peter Beerits’ park, inhabited by critters, cowboys, Vikings and sword-wielding knights and other characters, became the setting for New York playwright Melody Bates’ outdoor production of “Avalon” in 2019. Bates’ original play is a take on the medieval legend of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. “Avalon” blends magic, medieval myth and modern twists in the myth’s retelling.
As part of the set, Beerits built a three-story “wizard’s tower,” where Lancelot and Guinevere’s romantic tryst is discovered. A bloody “night of the long knives” ensues. In the scene, Lancelot fights off and stabs multiple soldiers.
