The Scalawags are a motley of Kithain who travel as a repertory company cum circus in Ireland.

Overview[]

Scalawags

This traveling band of players, claiming to bring art to the benighted souls of the rural parts of Hibernia, is one of the most diverse motleys in Ireland, claiming a Nocker, an Eshu, a Troll, and a Pooka in their number. They travel by traditional caravan from place to place and rarely more than 10 miles in a day. When they reach a likely spot they make camp, set up a makeshift stage, and advertise their presence in the community.

They are somewhat unorthodox in their repertoire and are more like the comedia del arte performers of yore than actors. Their favorite tactic is to invite (or coerce) members on stage to join them to read and act out the bit parts, particularly those that include saucy double entendres (for adult crowds) or silly pratfalls and costumes for the kids. While they make the volunteers look like utter fools, the participants rarely have a problem with it. Most revel in the chance to do something silly and to get the attention it brings. Many wait for next years show with the hope of being chosen again. There's nothing mean-spirited in the shows and most people get that and respond in kind. The Glamour generated by the audience and the motley is reward enough for all.
