TWELFTH NIGHT
Sunday 4 January
2.15pm at Bankside Pier, Bankside; free
An annual seasonal celebration with The Lions part theatre
company. It is a celebration of the New Year, mixing ancient
seasonal customs with contemporary festivity. It is free,
accessible to all and happens whatever the weather. To
herald the celebration, the extraordinary Holly Man, the
Winter guise of the Green Man from pagan myths and folklore,
decked in fantastic green garb and evergreen foliage,
appears from the River Thames brought by the Thames Cutter,
Master Shipbroker (boat subject to weather!). With the
crowd, led by the Bankside Mummers, the Holly Man 'brings in
the green' and 'wassails' or toasts the people and the River
Thames - an old tradition encouraging good growth.
Shakespeare's Globe is wassailed in like fashion. The
Mummers then process to the Bankside Pier, and perform the
traditional 'freestyle' Folk Combat Play of St. George,
featuring the Turkey Sniper, Clever Legs, the Old 'Oss and
many others, dressed in their spectacular 'guizes'. The play
is full of wild verse and boisterous action, a time-honoured
part of the season recorded from the Crusades. Cakes
distributed at the end of the play have a bean and a pea
hidden in two of them. Those who find them are hailed King
and Queen for the day and crowned with ceremony. They then
lead the people through the streets to the George Inn in
Borough High Street for a fine warming up with Storytelling,
the Kissing Wishing Tree and more dancing.
