Registration

The Canterbury Tales 

Adapted by Lindsay Price
Directed by Frances Bodiam

Performed  in the gardens of the  Hurlingham Club during the Hurlingham Festival.

30 August – 2 September 

Wednesday–Friday performances: 7.15pm
Saturday performance: 2.30pm

The Canterbury Tales was also  performed in the gardens of St Margaret's Church, Putney Park Lane, on 9 & 10 September at 3pm.

Inspired by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales but re-written into modern day English with hilarious effect, this fun version loses none of the charm of the original tales that have had such an enduring legacy on popular culture. 

Brought together by the Hostess of the Tabard Inn, her are our group of travellers on the way to Canterbury, among them the Wife of Bath, with her bawdy manners, The Pardoner and his relics, the anxious Cook, and the Prioress with her dog. 

This outdoor production is a delight for the senses with the cast performing in promenade style with lots of physical theatre, dancing and singing.
