Blast From The Past (2)

Told in a variety of styles, Blast from the Past presents six of the best-loved tales including the dark and brooding Pardoner’s Tale, the bawdy Miller’s Tale, the proto-feminism of the Wife of Bath’s Tale and the simple whimsy of the Nun’s Priest’s Tale.

Taking visual inspiration from medieval mystery plays and complete with a specially constructed touring set to resemble a medieval travelling theatre, the three-man cast use drama, verse, physical theatre and song to bring Chaucer’s characters to riotous life, telling tales packed with colourful characters and strange situations.

Definitely not a dry academic take on English literature - the show is fast, furious, occasionally filthy and invariably funny!

Unsuitable for under 12s.
