“The Canterbury Tales” is an hilarious, fast-paced adaptation of Chaucer’s original mediaeval poem. A group of pilgrims sets off for Canterbury to visit the shrine of Thomas Becket. To while away the journey, they tell each other stories: stories of love and lust, stupidity and passion, chivalry and greed. Taking several of these sparkling tales, it is a production that soars from farcical comedy to touching romance.
