SOUTH CERNEY Gloucestershire
MUMMERS PLAY noted by John Harvey-Webb in the 1930s and then, before his death, passed on to Peter Kennedy for the Folktrax Archive in 1957.
Encoder's Notes:This script was copied from https://folktrax-archive.org/menus/search%20for%20titles_so_sow.htm, where it is given as continuous text. Most character designations are given in bold face, and most line breaks are represented by hyphens. However, these do not appear to be consistent, and sometimes this is confusing, notably with the minor characters towards the end of the play.
We are grateful to Peter Kennedy for his permission to reproduce this script.
