The American Folklife Center has a tradition of performing a mummers’ play, a traditional form of folk drama, each holiday season. This year we reach back into the vaults to present our very first mummers’ play from 2009. The characters included Mother Christmas, Doctor Brown, Bold Slasher, and Little Saucy Jack. The lines of the script were adapted by Jennifer Cutting and Stephen Winick from scripts in the James Madison Carpenter Collection. Happy Holidays!
