The Canterbury Tales, Paperback / softback Book

The Canterbury Tales Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

A landmark dramatisation for the Royal Shakespeare Company of one of the foundation stones of English literature. This two-play adaptation of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales encompasses all 23 stories.

All the famous characters are here – as well as many less well-known but equally full of life.

Each of the stories has its own style – heroic verse for the Knight's Tale, vernacular rhymes for the Miller's Tale etc – echoing the many narrative voices employed by Chaucer himself. Mike Poulton's adaptation of The Canterbury Tales was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in 2005.
