Meet Geoffrey Chaucer (through his most famous work The Canterbury Tales) as his original medieval audience would have first encountered him - as a performance poet with a razor-sharp line in social satire. This lively modern version, introduces us to the motley ragbag of 'pilgrims', including the rascally Pardoner and the bawdy Miller, as they embark on the first pub competition in recorded history. Composed throughout in rhyming couplets that match Chaucer's original verse, this thoroughly accessible interpretation reveals just why Chaucer is considered one of the very great storytellers of all time.
