Friday 18th April 2025, 2.15pm (day 4,985)
It’s Good Friday, so as has been the way for many years, the Pace Egg players set up in Heptonstall and do their thing four times over the day, getting gradually more pissed. The 2pm show is the penultimate one: already quite inebriated, blows with swords that seem mock might just be more risky than one assumes. By the 4pm showing I think positive danger might be afoot. Then again, the same guys have been playing these parts for donkey’s years: I have pictures of this from 2011, before even starting this blog, and there they are. I guess they’ve found ways to mitigate the risks over time. Happy Easter.
