A Classic Collection of Characters: The Canterbury Tales
Chaucer’s classic collection of tales comes to life in the brilliant full-length adaptation, The Canterbury Tales by Lindsay Price.
A group of travelers set out for Canterbury on a pilgrimage. To pass the time they entertain each other with a storytelling contest. Best story wins a prize.
Each and every performer gets a chance to shine in this spirited, charming script. There are great characters, lots of humour, and strong ensemble work. Text uses modern English.
Led by director, Jeff Marontate , the students at Vincent Massey Secondary School in Windsor, Ontario had a great time taking on this fun-filled classical adaptation. Great sets, great students, great success!
We had so many students audition for the play that we expanded the number of cast members, and added a (silent) nun to accompany our Prioress. The show was great fun, and the kids had a blast!
Great job, Vincent Massey Secondary School!
