“How do you mummer anyway?”: a public forum with mummers
Sunday, December 4 2011 | 3 – 4pm | The Rooms Theatre
We all know what mummers look and sound like, but there’s much more to it than dressing up and dancing around like a fool. Want to learn some tricks of the trade? We’ve invited a group of mummers from the Southern Shore to share some of their experiences.
Even if you’re a seasoned mummer, the Southern Shore crowd might do things differently from you—come and see. We’ll ask all the vital questions: Which houses have the best food and drink?; What are the best ways to disguise yourself?; To knock or not to knock?; And how do you go to the bathroom in a costume like that? Hear about the many aspects of a mummer’s night out.
