Canterbury Tales

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.
