Canterbury Tales
Scunthorpe Little Theatre Club

Wednesday 14 – Saturday 17 May 2025

In a final dramatic attempt to bring Geoffrey Chaucer back to life, four immortal medieval alchemists invite a group of Chaucer’s best-known pilgrims: the Knight, the Wife of Bath, the Pardoner, the Miller and the Nun’s Priest, to tell their Canterbury Tales.

This riotous and fast-moving romp through the most popular book of its time reveals the fun and accessibility beneath the medieval text in this lively adaptation in modern English.

Join our band of Travelling Players and meet feisty women, conceited chickens, sighing lovers, medieval hooligans, crafty students and sexist knights with loads of audience participation and of course, bare bottoms being kissed, “full savourly…” to quote Chaucer himself.

Produced with the generous support of The Chaucer Heritage Trust.
