[Sca-cooks] Mumming/Theatricals at feasts

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

A couple of years ago, I believe there may have been some discussion on 
the lists about documentation for Theatrical presentations and/or 
mummings during feasts.

Turns out Roy Strong's book _Feast: A history of Grand Eating_ has some 
descriptions of 15th and 16th century feast mummings and spectacles, 
especially from pages 123-125, but other descriptions are scattered 
throughout the book. These include music, dancing, what we would call 
'opera' type presentations, a staging of the siege of Jerusalem, and 
mimed theatricals.
