Hognutters Mummers

The Hognutters Mummers Play is a short traditional play all about Pannage. The play follows the story of some pigs, their farmer and their struggle to forage in the forest. It features a cast of 10, plus members of Brighton Folk Choir and is really fun, with songs you can join in (we can provide the words!) .

Our play, which based on a Sussex mummers play, incorporates folk songs and is based on a traditional script collected in Ovingdean near Brighton. The audience is encouraged to participate in the singing and join in with instruments – becoming part of the drama. 

Mummer’s plays were part of village life and performed for free as part of seasonal festivities – they were dying out but are now having a revival for the modern age.  We want to spread awareness and appreciation of traditional English folk music and song. 

See us perform, we are at the Mint House in Pevensey, 30th Nov.
