@grasdialectplays.bsky.social
Researching & sharing information about the extraordinary village plays performed in Grasmere from 1893 to 1937. Most were written and produced by Eleanor Rawnsley (nee Simpson); all were in Westmorland dialect. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #GrasmereDialectPlays
Another treat! 2nd short clip from reading of 'Pace-eggin' Time' by members of the Lakeland Dialect Soc. Here, the Doctor (Jean Scott-Smith) boasts about what he can cure. St George (John Campbell), slayer of the Turk, then adjures him to 'bring that man to life again'. Full podcast in the works!
