LYMPSTONE MUMMERS – Saturday 21st December
Lympstone Mummers will tour the pubs with the Village’s traditional Mummers Play on the Saturday before Christmas (December 21st).
As always we will stick strictly to the script, handed down over generations, unless the odd ad lib should creep in…. Like most Mummers’ Plays, Lympstone’s compresses England’s past – from the Crusades onwards – into a noisy ten minutes of comical defeat and rude revival of past foes.
Our troupe of six players will burst into the Saddlers at around 8.15, fight their way through the Redwing at 9 and the Swan at 9.30 to arrive at the Globe by about 10pm. A collection will be taken for the Children’s Society. Old Father Christmas
