Can't see what so hilarious about it [we don't agree here, Eliza, as on Mansfield Park, do we?] ~~ tho did feel the men's dresses a bit ill-judged ~~ they weren't even versions of the military evzones' 'fustanella' kilt; and perhaps a certain over-portentous pomposity in the conception & performance, too much striving for an ultra-dignified effect. But no funnier than many sorts of traditional dance [and other ~~ I think the tango much funnier if you look at it thus] if taken the wrong way.

Feel this an unworthy attitude on this forum. AND the title of this thread seems to me to take, or at least give comfort to, a tendentiously unacceptable view of the Morris; to side with the many out there who just can't get the Morris, and somehow appear unaccountably complacent about their stupidity.
