This is a scene from the British Academy Of Fencing Diamond Jubilee celebraions held at Warwick Castle. The event was a display of swordsmanship with a variety of weapons. The show was a series of scenes set at different points in history (and most of them involve a sword fight!).
The actors in this scene are trained in the art of stage combat and have chosen the story of Dick Turpin to showcase their skills. All have given of their time freely as it is seen as an honour to participate in this one off event.
The actress in this scene is Natalie Gardner see http://www.nataliegardner.co.uk/
for more details on her!
Please excuse the camera work - This was shot on a stills camera, not a video camera!
