Canterbury Tales’ L***y, Long-suffering, and Devout Women

Late in the 14th century, thirty pilgrims on their way to Canterbury engaged in a game of tale-telling. Though this was a time of plague and war, Chaucer’s pilgrims didn’t tell stories about those evils. Instead,
most of their stories showed how, one way or another, women were the root of all of men’s troubles. Aided by the musical magic of Medieval music specialist Femke Bergsma, three contemporary storytellers, Daniel Kletke, Phil Nagy, and Gail Anglin, bring to
life a cross-section of Chaucer’s women – bold and l***y faithless wives; long-suffering faithful wives; chaste and devout maidens – and the men who made their lives heaven or hell. The performance will be enriched with costumes and Medieval crafts and dance.
Tickets are $18 for students and seniors and $22 regular admission. For more information, please call 613-322-8336 or 613-745-3689.
