EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1936, we are transported back in time to witness the enchanting Christmas Mummers Play performed by the Boxgrove Tipteers, a beloved local amateur group. The image showcases the talented actors donning an array of vibrant costumes that bring their characters to life. At the forefront of the scene stands Father Christmas himself, exuding warmth and joy as he spreads holiday cheer. Beside him is a farmer, embodying the hardworking spirit of rural life with his weathered attire and rugged demeanor. A soldier stands tall and proud, representing bravery and sacrifice amidst turbulent times. Adding an element of charm to this rustic setting is a collie dog, perhaps playing a mischievous role or simply adding an endearing touch to the performance. Set against the backdrop of a quaint barn nestled in West Sussex's picturesque countryside, one can almost hear laughter echoing through its wooden beams. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also reflects upon the enduring tradition of community theater during simpler days gone by. It serves as a testament to both creativity and camaraderie within small towns like Boxgrove. Preserved by West Sussex County Council, this historical gem allows us to appreciate how artistry thrived even amidst challenging times. As we gaze upon these spirited actors in their fanciful attire, we are reminded of our own capacity for imagination and celebration – timeless qualities that continue to unite communities across generations.
