FOR their 2017 outdoor summer tour, Taunton Thespians are telling tales: not any old tales, but four of Chaucer’s best: the Wife of Bath’s Tale, the Miller’s Tale, the Reeve’s Tale and the Nun’s Priest’s Tale.
Spicy, saucy and colourful, these tales stand the test of time and have been jauntily translated into modern rhyming couplets by Jeremy Secker in such a way that they are instantly understood and enjoyed.
The outdoor touring productions will visit ten locations across Somerset from July 11-22.
Venues open at 6pm for picnics and the show starts at 7.30pm.
Tickets bought in advance are valid for any venue and are available on line from tauntonthespians.org.uk of call the Taunton Visitor Centre on 01823 340470 or on the door at every venue. Not suitable for under 11 year olds.
