Can anyone give me some pointers as to a (trans)script for a Newfoundland
traditional Mummers play?  Are there any contemporary Canadian
playwrights who have used this form of theatre?
 
Also what examples of music can list members give me that might have been
used?  Specifically what songs, jigs and reels...
 
I've been told that there was one special song that would be used as People
entered a house...
 
Any and all help would be appreciated.
 
Cheers
