Subject: RE: Folklore: Padstow 'Darkie Days'
Please explain, I am most confused.

I have dressed as a women on a number of occaisons, in a wig, in a pub popular with gay friends in Stockport. I was in a Mummers Play. Was it offensive to women? I don't think so. Is pantomime? Probably not. I am open to discussion and advice. I am with the living tradition and am happy for the Mummers Play to move as it clearly has done over hudreds of years.
