For our 28th annual celebration of the Winter Solstice, we travel to a 19th-century English village.Join the acclaimed Revels company (more than 75 performers, ages 8 to 80) to explore Thomas Hardy's beloved (if fictional) Wessex and the charming village of Mellstock. We'll celebrate an English Country Christmas with traditional carols, anthems, rounds, country dancing, and a hilarious mummer's play.This year's guest artists, The Mellstock Band, come from England with a wonderful collection of string and wind instruments, including the haunting "serpent," a snake-like ancestor of the tuba. You'll also find Revels favorites Cutting Edge Sword Dancers, Foggy Bottom Morris Men, and our ever-delightful brass band. 8 PERFORMANCES:
