Bankside’s annual Twelfth Night revels will return on Sunday 4th January, as the Lions Part troupe of actors perform a mummers play for free.A festival, to mark the end of Christmas and the wassailing of the apple trees to wake them from their slumber, is a staple of English customs, and the Lions Part performs an urban rendition each year.
If you are fond of “ye olde english traditions”, then you’re bound to love this.
The revels begin outside Shakespeare’s Globe t
