'All Change' Interval procession.
INTERVAL PROCESSION
In “The Newport Hundreds” it states that it was customary, towards the end of the nineteenth century, for bands of children to collect greenery on May Day and proceed from house to house in Wolverton singing songs. To reflect the shift in the play from the grim frontier town days, to Wolverton, the established and growing Victorian town, the Hal-an-Tow processional song was borrowed from Helston. In the tradition of those later days the children swept singing through Hell’s Kitchen and the Refreshment Room and brought the audience back into the theatre in time for Act 2.
