Details of our recent year's performances

The Play still continues to be performed each year with the first performance of each season being in the Saracen's Head in Warburton on the 1st November - or the 2nd if the 1st is a Sunday. The Play usually then goes out for a further 4 nights during the following 7-14 days quite often on the Friday and Saturday but also sometimes mid week.

As mentioned on the Post Revival pages 2002 was the start of what has now become established as the routine for the 'last night'.  The Gang meet at the Saracen's Head at lunchtime on the last day and perform at the Autumn Fair in St Werburgh's Church in the afternoon. We then start our evening tour at sometime between 5.00pm and 6.00pm before returning to the Saracen's Head later in the evening. The day is finished off with singing and music by those Gang members still capable of doing so and also by anyone else wishing to come along and join in. This gives an added treat to those coming to see the last performance.

2008 will be no exception.
