Hear
Ye! Hear Ye! On a pilgrimage to Canterbury, a group of English
commoners laugh, frolic, and band together for a boisterous
storytelling competition to relieve the boredom of the journey,
all in hopes of being awarded a prize at the end of the
trip.
Filling
the stage with a beguiling blend of boisterous comedy and
lilting romance, six of Geoffrey Chaucer’s best tales
are spun in this adaptation by Arnold Wengrow. The contest
heats up as The Wife of Bath, The Merchant, The Reeve, The
Pardoner, The Franklin, and The Nun’s Priest tell
tales that offer moral lessons, as well as a hilarious diversion.
Light-hearted, joyous, sophisticated, and bawdy, don’t
miss this romp through medieval England and the intricate
woven tapestry of human nature.
