About the play
This version of Chaucer’s Knight’s, Reeve’s, Cook’s, Wife of Bath’s, Franklyn’s, Nun’s Priest’s, Pardoner’s, Merchant’s and the Miller’s Tale is set in the present at the annual Geoffrey Chaucer Canterbury Tale-telling competition. Each of the players takes charge of directing and performing of their own tale. With simple staging, suited to a village hall, pub, marquee, village green or theatre, the option of different directors for each tale and the 9 tales being divided across 2 performances, this script is flexible and adaptable to suit all local artistic and technical considerations and eventualities.
