Canterbury Tales Introduction by Derek

Two-part adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer's tales by Tony award winner adaptor Mike Poulton. 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.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400), often referred to as “the grandfather of English literature,” is invariably ranked with Shakespeare and Milton as one of the three greatest poets of the English language. His masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, has been a touchstone for English-language poetry for more than half a millennium and is one of the most widely read works in the Western canon.
