St George dies in The White Boys, Peel, 2023

The White Boys; the Manx mummers' play, named for their odd costumes.

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 16 December 2023 at the Black Dog Oven, Peel, Isle of Man.

 

A video of this performance is available here:
