The Taxidermist's Daughter

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. The plays can be performed either together or separately.
