The Canterbury Tales or Geoffrey Chaucer's Flying Circus




Tonight our PEACH homeschool Drama Club presented, The Canterbury Tales, what many believe was Chaucer’s literary masterpiece revolutionized English literature.  Our tale tossed in a good helping of Monty Python-styled humor to create this to this incredibly silly yet educational comedy.  

With many of the pilgrims whose tales are most likely to be studied in high school (along with a few Thanksgiving pilgrims that ended up in the wrong play!), including the knight, the miller, the parson, the pardoner, the nun’s priest and the friar great madness occurs!   Geoffrey Chaucer himself appears in the play, as he is directed by Harry Bailey, (aka Caleb) to finish the Tale! 

Abigail portrayed a Jersey-Shore hen, Pertelote!  Her sassy, over the top character is a huge leap from the sweet Dorothy of Oz she portrayed in last year's musical! 

Great job, everyone! Grandparents, don't worry your DVD's will arrive shortly!
