The Laair Vane inspects the White Boys, Ramsey, 2021

The White Boys; the Manx mummers' play.

A 200-year-old play about saints fighting, dying and being resurrected to sing and dance.

This picture comes from the performance of the play given on 18 December 2021 outside the Courthouse in Ramsey, Isle of Man.

 

A video of a performance from this same group but in a different location in 2021 is available here: youtu.be/BWFNo88nbq0
