Prepare for some Chaucerian chaos as Make It Beautiful Theatre Company bring their signature brand of long-form improvisational madness to The Canterbury Tales. Using audience suggestions they will create a selection of completely new, completely improvised Canterbury Tales in front of your very eyes – hopefully enviable of Geoffrey himself. Guaranteed: fun, bawdry and bedlam.
