Canterbury Tales

Fri 19 - Sat 20 Dec 2008

Once upon a time, a band of revellers, vagabonds and rascals travelling from London to Canterbury told each other a few stories...

This merry band, created by Geoffrey Chaucer, became the most famous group of drinking buddies ever, even influencing Shakepeare.

The stories they told have thrilled and delighted audiences for centuries, and this Christmas they get a uniquely comic re-telling in this all singing, all dancing family-friendly show.

This evening will be entertainment with the seriousness and formality of the theatre left outside! It is a chance for those in the local area who fancy a night out to relax, laugh, and have a few ales with friends and family, without the worry of travelling the long and lonesome road home.

Enter Tacit’s Tavern Theatre and enjoy a tankard of ale or a glass of mulled wine as the knights, peasants and wenches of a bygone age entertain with a wealth of tales and songs...
For those who have always dreamed of becoming a real life medieval wench or rogue for an evening, there will be an opportunity at each performance for members of the audience to flex their acting talents and join in the fun!

Naughty faeries, jealous husbands, evil crones and blushing buxom barmaids; they’ll all be there at this unmissable evening of fun and enchantment!

The tavern opens for business at 7pm, show starts at 8pm
