Review: I first came across this adaptation when I was still in school. Our drama teacher showed it to us and we had a lot of fun with it. Now I am using extracts from it with my own drama students. The kids can really have a lot of fun with the quirky style and the character of the Pardoner always gets an enthusiastic response. The Canterbury Tales are wonderful stories which deserve retelling, and this book (which in fairness only covers a small number of the tales) is a great introduction to the work. It is an ideal way to introduce Chaucer to teens who might be a bit intimidated by jumping straight into the middle English of the original.

Review: Lively, upbeat, great fun: lots of staging and props ideas for the novice director, those with more experience will enjoy being more experimental. Props plot can be quite complicated. Great for Yr 9s - a little bit rude in places, but nothing really should offend.
