Bonfire Night

On the fifth of November every year English boys and girls carry funny figures about the streets. These figures are made of straw and dressed in an old coat and a hat, with a mask for a face.

The children knock at the doors and sing:

“Remember, remember,

The fifth of November

Was Gunpowder Treason and Plot¹.

I see no reason

Why Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot”.

The children expect people to give them some money which is spent on fireworks. In the evening a bonfire is made, and the figures are burnt on it. Each of these figures is called Guy Fawkes.

You want to know, of course, who Guy Fawkes was and what he did.

On November 5^th, 1605, Guy Fawkes and some other people planned to blow up English Parliament. The plot was discovered and Guy Fawkes was hanged. At moment of his arrest he wore a mask on his face.

So ever since, as November 5^th approaches, children let off fireworks and burn straw figures on a big bonfire.

The Theatre Royal

The Theatre Royal in Drury Lane is one of the oldest theatres in London. It opened in 1663. The king was present at the performance; that is why it was called Theatre Royal. Today most people call it Drury Lane by the name of the street in w it stands. The theatre has many traditions. One of them is the Badely cake, which began in the eighteenth century.

Robert Badely was a pastry-cook who became an actor and joined the Theatre Royal. He was a good actor, and the plays in which he acted were always a great success with the people of London. When Robert Badely was very old, he left some money to the theatre. Robert Badely asked to buy cake and offer a piece of it to each actors and actresses of the theatre on Twelfth Night every year. Twelfth Night is the 6^th of January, the twelfth night after Christmas.

So, after the evening performance on the Twelfth Night, the actors and actresses come down into the hall in their stage clothes and eat the Badely cake.
