An accurate, if irreverent, illustrated history of Carew told in rhyming couplets, in the style of a traditional mummers' play. Based on a series of community theatre events staged in the castle, it has proven production potential and can be played with a full cast of 40+ or hard-working company of 10. Includes brief history of Mummers’ plays, factual notes on the text and the amazing Carew ghost story.

Freefall within this sleeve of time;
Twist through the spiral of my rhyme …
