On Saturday, January 19, 2013, the Montego Bay chapter of the Georgian Society held its annual soiree at the Rose Hall Great House in Montego Bay. At twilight, attendees strolled up the path to the great house in costumes resplendent of the Georgian era. Many of these were created by costume designer, Ernesto Castro who was also present.
As guests mingled on the expansive lawn, the great house glowed in a backdrop of multicolored lights -- a solid reminder of a bygone era. The delicious, complimentary sangria, made by Robin deLisser, was hands down "the drink of the night" and it seemed to flow in unlimited supply. A light Georgian fare followed with an assortment of European cheeses, roast pork, et al. And then the surprise entertainment of the night -- a bevy of professional dancers renacted poignant scenes from the grisly tale of The White Witch of Rose Hall.
