Following on from last years The Strangeness of Others, Rocket Theatre Showcasing is now staging Canterbury Tales, which will feature the talents of 16 up-and-coming actors from the North West in a thoroughly entertaining updated version of Chaucer’s ‘filth-fest!’

Phil Woods takes a deliberately unacademic approach to Chaucer's classical work, while at the same time retaining the original's sense of fun, chivalry, and satire. Rocket have also added their own twist by adopting a different film style to each tale and welcoming you to come along to the Annual Geoffrey Chaucer Canterbury Tale-telling Competition!

Warning: The play contains language and scenes of a bawdy nature!

The play will be staged at the Waterside Arts Centre - a brand new, state-of-the-art theatre in Sale. Performances are on Wed 18th May - 7.30pm / Thur 19th May 3.00pm & 7.30pm / Fri 20th May - 7.30pm.

Tickets, priced at just £5 each, can be booked in advance through the Box Office. Information here.
