The origin of the Mummers' plays is obscure, some saying that they date back to Celtic or Roman times. They are undoubtedly performed by travelling groups in the middle ages, but this performance-art almost died out even in rural areas. The tales concerned themselves with death and resurrection. Stella Abbey, by taking this production to 'The Bell', 'The Squirrel Inn' and Magdalen Farm attempted to revive a lost tradition.
