Nottingham Guardian Journal, 14th Jan.1954, No.J39921,G30441, p.3d

"Excerpts from traditional folk plays recorded in Notts and Lincolnshire recently were presented in a North Regional unscripted broadcast by Mr. Maurice Barley, of Nottingham University, last night. He was assisted by Mr. Colin Shaw.

Mr Barley toured the East Midlands in a BBC recording car and watched Plough Monday plays this week. He described the scenes and their symbolism."

There is a brief general description of the plays.

"A recording of last Friday's Christmas Mother's play at Underwood was broadcast and listeners heard a recording of the Barrow-on-Humber, North Lincolnshire, play."
