Telling Tales

Telling Tales

Leading UK poets retell Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.

Patience Agbabi’s new poetry collection Telling Tales remixes all the stories of Chaucer’s masterwork and presents an array of 21st-century characters described as 'punks, badasses, broken hearts, beat poets, silver-tongued fixers, town criers, beauties, sinners...' (Jeanette Winterson).  

 

Medieval meets modern in a sizzling staged slam featuring the talents of poets including: Francesca Beard, Steve Tasane, Michael Brome, The Speech Painter, Kyrill Potapov, Shane Solanki, and Pete the Temp – each  of whom will breathe life into one of Agbabi’s irreverent pilgrims.

 

The event is part of the Telling Tales Tour produced by renaissance one.  Follow the Pilgrimage via twitter: #funkychaucer
