Notes:

Back-to-Basics for this year's Mummers Tour of The Ashdown Forest. Last year due to Covid restrictions we could not perform in pubs so maintained continuity by performing on The Ashdown Forest to an audience of one woman and a dog, and uploaded a video of the play to YouTube. For this year’s play we have decided to go back-to-basics and do the play in the style that it was performed in the past. Our coats of tatters are similar to those worn by Sussex mummers in old photographs.
