Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Coming to Sands End
Half Cut Theatre Company staging new adaptation
A new take on a classic of English Literature
March 4, 2024
An adaptation of one of the seminal works of English Literature, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, is coming to Fulham this month.
Regional touring theatre company, Half Cut Theatre, promises a fresh take on this much-loved English Literature classic, packed full of love, laughter, music and mayhem.
This theatrical journey back six-hundred years, to medieval Britain in all its filth and glory, aims to fully immerse you in some of the most romantic, ridiculous and raucous stories, to delight young and old alike.
All good stories start down the pub, and this one is no different. A mismatched group of travellers ready themselves for a gruelling journey. Some have an axe to grind but all have a tale to tell.
Can Harry, behind the bar at The Tabard Inn, keep control? What secrets is the Wife of Bath about to spill? Are we ready for Tim Pardoner’s latest get rich quick scheme? And will anybody actually make it to Canterbury? There’s only one way to find out…
There is just one performance at 7pm on Tuesday 26 March at the Sands Ends Arts Centre.
Half Cut Theatre operates on a Pay What You Decide basis. Reserve your seat online at no charge then decide how much you think the ticket was worth after the performance.
Half Cut Theatre perform all year round in theatres, studio spaces, pub gardens, village greens, nearby castles, or anywhere it can pitch its stage and come together with the local community to tell a story.
The company was founded by three professional actors, George Readshaw and Alex Wilson who both trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and James Camp who studied at Guildford School of Acting. They focus on bringing much loved classics to life with a new twist.
