The Proteans present The Canterbury Tales
The Walled Garden, Down Grange
Friday 19 to Sunday 21 June
Various times
This Summer, join The Proteans as they present a selection of stories from Geoffrey Chaucer’s most famous and celebrated works, The Canterbury Tales, told by a merry band of travellers as they pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury.
To pass the time as they travel the long road on foot, the pilgrims engage in a storytelling contest; featuring a bawdy cast of Parsons, Nuns, Knights, Cooks, Clerks, Merchants, Squires and Monks, The Proteans retell some of the most amusing tales (there are over 40 to choose from!) and give them their trademark ‘Proteans treatment!’
Pack a picnic for classic theatre and (hopefully) great British sunshine!!!
