Mummer

I’ve written or adapted a number of mummers’ plays which have been performed by Rag Morris Mummers since 2009; and I have an ongoing mission to find new ways to create original plays and innovative approaches to staging older plays. So this is the place to find out a bit more about the background to what’s been happening, and perhaps what might be included in the next bout – the pre-inclusion, if you like.

The first play was entitled “The Nine Lives of Isambard Kingdom Brunel”, which we first performed in Bristol in 2009, and then again at the first Bristol Folk Festival, which took place at the end of April 2011 and at the first Mummers Unconvention in Bath in 2011. We were then invited to perform a play at Bristol Zoo for Christmas 2010, so in order to please the residents, I put together one called “Prince Albert and the Lionheart”, with apologies to Marriott Edgar, and Queen Victoria, who was not amused. We have also done our version of a traditional play based on the Robin Hood story, and our latest play tackles the tricky problem of the creation of the universe in the Big Bang.

So I’ll put up a couple of features about that kind of thing, and then we’ll find out what happens next. Thanks for dropping by.

Gavin.
