GUEST,Steve (Gloucester)	Mummers and Racism (138* d)	BS: Mummers and Rascism	10 Dec 04
We have just been told by a venue based in the village where we have annually performed our Mummers' play that this year we would not be able to perform the play as it is rascist. Just to explain, we black our faces in the old Mumming tradition, and this is obviously where the problems arises. Has anyone else come across this problem? If so, how did you deal with it? We have been having a few problems with this venue for the past couple of years when the new manager took over (despite his head office giving us the go ahead) so I suspect that this is just a smokescreen, however this doesn't stop me from being offended by the allegation! Maybe a little knowledge being a dangerous thing? Be good to have another opinion! Steve
