WHAT DOES GUISER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

guiser

Mummers play

Mummers Plays are seasonal folk plays performed by troupes of actors known as mummers or guisers, originally from the British Isles, but later in other parts of the world. They are sometimes performed in the street but more usually as house-to-house visits and in public houses. Although the term mummers has been used since medieval times, no play scripts or performance details survive from that era, and the term may have been used loosely to describe performers of several different kinds. Mumming may have precedents in German and French carnival customs, with rare but close parallels also in late medieval England. The earliest evidence of mummers' plays as they are known today is from the mid to late 18th century. Mummering plays should not be confused with the earlier mystery plays.
