Description: "Under the sardonic eye of Chaucer himself, each pilgrim recounts a tale to entertain their companions on the road to Canterbury. By turns comic, bawdy and sublime, these great, theatrical tales and their tellers are a vivid testimony to Chaucer's insight into human nature. This two-part adaptation for the stage by Mike Poulton cleverly echoes the many narrative voices employed by Chaucer himself."--BOOK JACKET.
