Subject: mummers in larkrise
BBC never fail to make a mess of a well documented tradition and excelled in the portrayal of mumming the George play. the actors playing the part of the mummers could have made a better job of acting the play and sticking to a george play with all the parts or is it too much to ask to remember the lines.
i expected them to cry off the blacking up part of the tradition but playing women in the part is not on,also george did not need to be in kit for a week before hand
