Guysrs
Sir,- D. H . Lawrence men- tioned Eastwood guysering, as anyone familiar with his work will know; had he recorded the Eastwood version of the play he would have rendered invaluable service.
I have a collection of six local versions of "Plough Bullockers" or guyser plays, the number of players varying from three to six. However, the full play requires seven actors, but oan be varied.
It appears a number of local people have submitted contribu- tions, to whioh I couple my grati- tude with that of Mr. Millington, but no-one remembers the full play.
If Mr. Millington will accept my invitation, I will prepare a suitable "Eastwood" version and, with five more volunteers, we will "tour the local pubs and olubs" next Christmas on the understanding that any proceeds will be donated to a worthy charity.
Furthermore, I am willing to write a "special" version for the Easrwood 1972 festival, which could be included in my pageant script. - Yours, etc.,
ARTHUR COLEMAN (local historian),
38 Robey Drive, Eastwood. |
