About this event

Online talk on post-reformation belief in Cornwall.

Join PhD student and historian Kensa Broadhurst for this talk on the dating of the play Creation of the World.

Discover how an understanding of wider events in Cornwall and England can help us understand why this play was written.

The talk is free and will be delivered on Zoom.

This is part of a wide-ranging series of events to celebrate Kresen Kernow’s exciting temporary exhibiton this summer – Out of the Ordinary.

Four historic Cornish language play scripts return to Cornwall for the first time in centuries. The exhibition unites The Cornish Ordinalia and The Creation of the World (on loan from the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford) with The Life of St Meriadoc/Bewnans Meriasek and The Life of St Kea/Bewnans Ke (on loan from the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth) under one roof for the first time in history.

The manuscripts form a very significant part of Cornwall’s written and language heritage, as well as providing glimpses of a distinct theatrical tradition which took place here centuries ago.
