The most popular national amusement in Burma is the pwe. This entertainment may consist of
acting, 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-time court costumes and proclaim long speeches,
but there is always a down to relieve any boredom. Judging by the laughter the clowns provoke,
they are found really funny.
