ABOUT THE PLAY

Chaucer's classic collection of tales comes to life in a brilliant full-length adaptation. A group of travellers set out for Canterbury on a pilgrimage. To pass the time they entertain each other with a storytelling contest. Best story wins a prize.

Every performer gets a chance to shine in this spirited, charming script. Great characters, OTT, lots of humour, and strong ensemble work. Text uses modern English.

The characters from the Tales may be doubled up, giving actors a chance to explore more than one role.
