Show Devices

Below is a gallery of heraldic devices created for our productions.  The first of these was designed by the cast of “Macbeth” and rendered by Master Corun MacAnndra for the production at Pennsic 34 in 2005.  The company started using these devices for both publicity and our program covers with the production of “A Man for All Seasons,” (Pennsic 39, 2010).   Beginning with “A Man for All Seasons” all of the show devices have been designed and rendered by Lord Aaron Peregrine.  They were never intended to be heraldically correct by SCA standards, but rather a graphic depiction of the show itself.  Each of the devices lists the show, and both the Pennsic and modern years of production.  Blazoning of these devices compliments of Lady Rosina von Schaffhausen.
