EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1936, we are transported back in time to witness the Boxgrove Tipteers, a local amateur group, as they bring the spirit of Christmas alive through their enchanting Mummers Play. The actors don an array of vibrant and elaborate costumes, each embodying a unique character that adds depth and intrigue to the performance. Amidst the rustic charm of a barn nestled in the idyllic West Sussex countryside, these talented individuals captivate their audience with their dramatic prowess. From Father Christmas spreading joy and merriment to a soldier exuding bravery and valor, every actor brings their character to life with utmost dedication. One particularly poignant scene captures our attention - the death scene. With emotions running high, it is evident that these performers have poured heart and soul into perfecting every nuance of this intense moment. Their commitment to authenticity shines through as they transport us into a world where make-believe becomes reality. The George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this remarkable snapshot of local talent for generations to come. It serves as a testament not only to the rich theatrical heritage within our community but also highlights how art can transcend time and connect us across decades. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image frozen in history's embrace, we cannot help but be reminded of the power of drama and its ability to unite people from all walks of life under one roof – or rather one barn – celebrating tradition during festive times like no other form can
