"Excerpts from traditional folk
plays recorded in Notts and
Lincolnshire recently were presented
in a North Regional unscripted
broadcast by Mr. Maurice Barley,
of Nottingham University, last
night. He was assisted by Mr. Colin
Shaw.
Mr Barley toured the East Midlands
in a BBC recording car and
watched Plough Monday plays this
week. He described the scenes and
their symbolism."
There is a brief general description of the plays.
"A recording of last Friday's
Christmas Mother's play at Underwood
was broadcast and listeners
heard a recording of the Barrow-on-Humber,
North Lincolnshire, play."
