singing, dancing, clowning or even puppetry. These plays are performed outdoors-most often on
moonlit nights. They usually last all night for several nights in succession. The audience sits on reed
mats to watch the show. The pwes are free, and more often than not are given by a wealthy individual
for the entertainment of his friends and anyone else who cares to attend. The pwe plays are usually
legendary tales about princes and princesses and almost always have a happy ending. Actors wear old
