The Canterbury Tales

Adapted from the bawdy poems of medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer. Set in a tavern in the middle ages - but with a modern twist - a mad miller, a handsome scholar, a beautiful tart and an East End bad boy weave a plot of betrayal, lies and bigamy. Rewritten in modern language and using a combination of original live music and well-known songs, the Canterbury Tales whisks you away to a world of medieval mayhem....
