A new adaptation of Chaucer's classic work by Lee Threadgold. Join us for a bawdy, boisterous, downright rowdy romp through some of Chaucer's best loved tales, as told by a fellow traveller on the road to Canterbury. Gasp at the Miller's comeuppance! Be wooed by the Wife of Bath! Marvel at the Friar's flatulent friend! Featuring a cast of colourful puppets, performing objects, music, madness and masks; The Canterbury Tales brings these wonderful characters to life in all their glory. www.animatedobjects.co.uk
