The Road to Canterbury (win tickets to opening night)
I was and still am a big Chaucer fan (despite the fact that I probably was too young to be reading some of his, uh, more adult tales), and I’m delighted that I’ll be able to see this modern-day re-imagining of The Canturbury Tales (by Grimm Tales author Sebastien Archibald), The Road to Canterbury. I am very curious to see how this theatrical performance morphs reality with a re-invention of the Tales.
The production team taken a very interesting approach, as the production will be taking a tour of Queen Elizabeth Park, and five of Chaucer’s tales. The Road to Canterbury runs August 7-21, 2009. I’m delighted and grateful to Itsazoo Productions and their PR team to be able to give away 2 tickets to opening night [Friday August 7th] of The Road to Canterbury.

This sounds very interesting and you have no idea just how much I could use a good dose of fantasy right now.
Hurrah Chaucer! The Wife of Bath paved the way for Dan Savage’s advice column. Most people associate erroneously Middle English with boredom, but Chaucer heaps on the cheeky sauciness. Adultery? Farting? Bum shots? Yes please.
Hey sounds pretty cool, I remember reading this way back when I was getting edumicated. I hope to catch this while it runs, great summer fun with wifey!
I heard an interview on CBC this morning with the 26 years old author and it sounds intriguing. He described it as a theatre piece for the South Park generation.
Just need to leave a comment and random draw? I can do that, sure.
Would love a night out for some smart entertainment.
never heard of these guys, but wouldnt mind trying something new
Sure could indulge in a bit of fantasy as it helps with imagination and I love deadlines:)
Done, Done….and Done. Good luck…….To ME!
