Canterbury Tales

Putney Theatre Company on Tour!  At two outdoor venues this year, PTC brings you their funny, fast paced, modern English version of The Canterbury Tales. <br/><br/>Inspired by Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales but re-written into modern day English with hilarious effect, this fun version loses none of the charm of the original tales that have had such an enduring legacy on popular culture. <br/><br/>Brought together by the Hostess of the Tabard Inn, we join our group of travellers on the way to Canterbury, among them the Wife of Bath, with her bawdy manners, The Pardoner and his relics, the anxious Cook, and the Prioress with her dog. <br/><br/>This outdoor production is a delight for the senses with the cast performing in promenade style with lots of physical theatre, dancing and singing. <br/><br/>The Hurlingham Festival, <br/>The Hurlingham Club, Fulham<br/>Just over Putney Bridge!<br/><br/>August 30th – September 2nd <br/>Wednesday–Friday performances: 7.15pm<br/>Saturday performance: 2.30pm<br/><br/>Tickets and info:<br/>https://putneyartstheatre.org.uk/event-5304387<br/><br/>Cast<br/>The Cook - Helen Wood<br/>The Franklin - Richard Seedhouse<br/>The Hostess - Penny Weatherall<br/>The Miller - Oliver Robert-Vale<br/>The Pardoner - Will Hunter<br/>The Prioress - Megan Good<br/>The Reeve - Aidan Kershaw<br/>The Wife of Bath - Cait Hart Dyke<br/><br/>Director: Frances Bodiam<br/>Composer and Musical Director: Perry Kitchen<br/>Physical Theatre & Choreographer: Penny Weatherall<br/><br/>Crew:<br/>Production Manager: Sarah Jillings<br/>Stage Manager: Helen Wood<br/>ASM: Sarah Kitchen<br/>Graphics and Videos: Nick Wells<br/><br/>Do come join us at The Hurlingham Festival – a four-day cultural feast!
