EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era as it showcases the Boxgrove Tipteers, a local amateur group, in their Christmas Mummers Play back in October 1936. The actors are adorned in an array of vibrant and imaginative costumes, each embodying a different character that adds to the charm and authenticity of this traditional performance. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Father Christmas himself standing tall and proud alongside a soldier, both representing iconic figures from folklore and history. A fancy-dressed individual brings an element of whimsy to the scene while a farmer exudes rustic charm with his attire reflecting life in the countryside. The fiddle player adds musical accompaniment to this lively production set against the backdrop of a quaint barn. The atmosphere is palpable as these men embrace their roles wholeheartedly, showcasing their acting skills with passion and dedication. This image not only serves as a testament to their commitment but also highlights the importance placed on preserving cultural traditions during that period. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into rural life during the 1930s. It encapsulates not only the spirit of community theater but also represents an enduring tradition passed down through generations. As we admire this historical artifact today, we can't help but be transported back to that magical moment when these individuals brought joy and entertainment to their local audience through their heartfelt performances.
