The Canterbury Tales at The New American Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse

Start with Chaucer’s literary masterpiece, toss in a good helping of Monty Python-styled humor, and you get this incredibly silly comedy. You’ll meet many of the pilgrims whose tales are most likely to be studied in high school (along with a few Thanksgiving pilgrims that ended up in the wrong play!), including the knight, the miller, the parson, the pardoner, the nun’s priest and the friar. Even the wife of Bath has cleaned up her act for this adaptation and is now a nagging woman who sells self-help DVDs! The miller, too, makes an appearance, though nobody wants to hear anything he has to say!
