Blue Anchors Mummers – ‘A Play at Christmas’

‘A Play at Christmas’ – now in its 25th 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.
