May Pole - use some chant

Drama -- Hag -> Maiden, Brown -> Green Man -- mimed
	Crowd has encircled Brown Man and The Hag.
	Brown man and Hag start separated, close to the ground.
	They slowly stand, look about.  See each other.  Smile.
	Walk slowly together, eyes fixed on each other.  Link arms, turn thrice.
	Separate and spiral widdershins, making a hand motion of
	breath into the air and hand motions of snow and leaves falling.
	Shiver, look at each other from across the circle, then kneel/lie down.
	Pause.  Change from Hag to Maiden, Brown Man to Green Man.
	Rise slowly.  Hand motions to raise flowers, grass.  Standing, make hand
	motions to signify trees gaining leaves, as they spiral to meet.
	Link arms, turn thrice.  Produce dagger and chalice.  Both hold both
	tools as they plunge the dagger into the chalice.
