Adaptations
The British painter/poet David Jones (1895-1974) wrote a poem called "The Hunt" based on the tale of "Culwhch ac Olwen." A fragment of a larger work, "The Hunt" takes place during the pursuit of the boar Twrch Trwyth by Arthur and the various war-bands of Celtic Britain and France.
In 1988 Gwyn Thomas released a retelling of the story, Culhwch ac Olwen, which was illustrated by Margaret Jones. Culhwch ac Olwen won the annual Tir na n-Og Award for Welsh-language nonfiction in 1989.
Y Mabinogi is a film adaptation of the four branches produced in 2003. It begins and ends with live-action among Welsh people in the modern world. They 'fall into' the legend, which is depicted by animation. Plot elements are mixed and some are left out.
A shadow puppet adaptation of Culhwch and Olwen toured schools in the Ceredigion (Cardigan) region during 2003. The show was created by Jim Williams and was supported by Theatr Felinfach.
The tale of Culhwch and Olwen was adapted by Derek Webb in Welsh and English as a dramatic recreation for the reopening of Narberth Castle in Pembrokeshire in 2005.
