Drama Kernewek

Cornish Medieval Drama Resource and Activity Pack

Drama Kernewek

A new resource about Cornish medieval drama has been published by MAGA.  Although aimed primarily for use by secondary schools, the resource will also be of interest to individuals and drama groups of all ages.

Cornwall has a unique theatrical heritage, and the plays that were written and performed here in the medieval period played an important role in the development of drama in Britain.  Drama Kernewek will take students and readers back over 600 years to experience Cornwall in the Middle Ages and find out about the plays that were performed in towns and villages around the Duchy from the 14th century through to the early 17th century.

Drama Kernewek is available from selected book shops or direct from MAGA for the price of £6.95.  Please send a cheque for £6.95 made out to ‘Cornwall Council’ to MAGA, Cornwall Council, Dalvenie House, County Hall, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 3AY.
