About the show:
The Rap Canterbury Tales is a faithful hip-hop adaptation of three of Geoffrey Chaucer's most enduring characters, the Miller, the Pardoner, and the Wife of Bath. The text comes to life as an oral storytelling performance, recreating the pilgrims and their hilarious tales through physical theatre and virtuoso lyricism. After three critically-acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, this award-winning show went on to tour the world, including Australia, Europe, the UK, and several college campus tours of the USA.
