I should point out that Dave's description of a mummer's play is only one of many that might be made. Other plays have different characters. In some the Turkish knight or Bold Slasher etc kills St George, in others he kills the Valiant Soldier, in some he is killed by St George and revived, in others merely defeated. The presentation also varies from group to group with some blacking all the character's faces, some only according to the part and others using masks.
