Hooray! Oberon agreed to switch to playing Little John. Should be able to find another Oberon. It's a small part.
I'd love to see a Mumming Play. My cornish ancestors left them behind when they came here in 1847. Pantomimes, being modern at the time of the goldrush, crossed the ocean and were popular here but not the ritual plays. We have Morris Dancers at the folk festivals and Maypole dancing at a Cornish festival nearby, but the tradition has been broken. It must be so different to live somewhere where your roots go deep.
Cheers, Joy
