Jolie Booth has worked as a Tudor every summer for over 26 years, making her somewhat of a specialist. Working as a dairymaid for her formative years, she went on to become a washerwoman and then a low-player. Ten years ago she set up the Mummers station and has been head of station ever since. This troupe, known as the Suffolk Howlers, perform their plays upon a cart and sleep beneath it under the stars.
