'A Play at Christmas' - now in its 24th year!Please Note: This is NOT a Nativity play, and should probably be avoided by children under 5 and people of a sensitive or artistic disposition.
'Mumming, or Mummers, plays used to be done all the over the country at Christmastime - they are a sort of Victorian pantomime using figures from history, comic characters, and dubious verse. This performance includes lines from plays done in Redruth, Camborne, Helford and Constantine from the mid-1800s, which in turn include words from a play performed in the Truro area in 1780, the earliest complete mumming text in the country. Various ad-libs will occur, depending upon the mood of the cast.'
Come along, have a laugh and a pint, and get in the festive spirit. Thank you to The Blue Anchor Mummers for continuing this tradition.
