The Canterbury Tales – 4 shows only in Perth! Class Act Theatre (Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Lysistrata) team up with Bare Naked Theatre Company (As You Like It, Romeo & Juliet) to bring Perth and country audiences a cheeky version of Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales (adapted into modern English by Stephen Quinn) The Canterbury Tales is an hilarious fast-paced modern adaptation of Chaucer's original mediaeval poem. Thirty pilgrims set off for Canterbury to visit the shrine of Thomas Becket. To while away the journey they tell each other stories: stories of love and lust, stupidity and passion, chivalry and greed. We take several of these sparkling tales and present an evening that soars from farcical comedy to touching romance. Directed by Stephen Lee and starring Ian Bolgia, David Meadows, Dan Luxton, Angelique Malcolm, James Davies, Stephen Lee & Kim Walsh.
