This the most recently-discovered of the ancient ‘saint’s plays’ in Cornish, having been discovered in 1999 in a private collection and now in the National Library Of Wales. It tells two stories, the first being the adventures of St. Ke in Cornwall, mostly in the parish of St. Kea, the second being part of the story of King Arthur as related by Geoffrey Of Monmouth. How the two are linked for the purposes of the play is unclear. The original dates from around 1549 and has been edited and translated into Cornish and English by Dr. Ken George.
