| 描述： | Crook Morris Wassail Day 2015 Mummers Play ~The Mummers’ Play is a folk play that used to be popular throughout the whole of England in various forms. The word ‘Mummer’ possibly came from the Greek word ‘Mommo’, meaning a mask, the wearing of which became popular at royal functions in the 14th century, the practice of such being termed ‘Momerie’. Traditionally, the performance itself begins with an introduction, usually by Father Christmas, who also clears space in the venue for the play to be performed. The play then moves on to a hero combat with two combatants, who differ from play to play, such as Saint (or King) George, a Turk, a soldier, a dragon and various ruffians. Much boasting of martial prowess by the combatants occurs before and after the fight. The person who is ‘killed’ is always brought back to life by a quack doctor who first boasts of his skill in medicine. The play ends with a plea for money from the audience for a chosen charity and then usually a song or Mummers carol. |
