Six of Chaucer's best known tales-- the Knight's, the Wife of Bath's, The Pardoner's, the Franklin's, the Nun's Priest's and the Miller's - are freely adapted to the stage with an original and tuneful score
Strolling players spontaneously begin each story and the group's members enact the various roles
One of the tales can even be played as a Victorian melodrama!
With plenty of scope for energetic improvisation, this lively setting of some of the tales is popular with youth groups and dramatic societies
