Mummers for Easter Monday
April 6th,12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Easter trails continue on Easter Monday .. and as an extra treat (12 ish &1.30pm) a tradtitional ‘Pace Egging’ Mummers play from our friends the Glorishears of Brummagem.
A bit like pantomime, ‘Mummers’ plays are gentle knock about folk plays tradtionally played at christmas, new year and easter.
Brummagem Mummers are thrilled to make their return to the Gardens to bring their own take on mumming, in this short Easter themed play that is suitable for all ages.
Free performances (about 20mins) in the Courtyard at 12 and 1.30 ish …
Robin Hood and Little John battle with Fred the Fly Tipper, who not only is dumping rubbish all over our countryside but is now trying to steal the King’s deer from Sherwood Forest.
Join Brummagem Morris in their off-beat, hysterical, modern, interpretation of a traditional mummers play.
Cringe at the terrible gags.
Meet Dobbin the horse and Jolly Jack the sailor (what’s he doing in Sherwood?)
See what wonderous cures the Doctor can pull out of his bag to resuscitate the fallen characters.
Laugh at the terrible rhyming poetry and groan at the awful puns.
Fun for all the family.
