Synopsis
Step across the threshold of the Tabard Inn and enter 14th-century England, not as a passive spectator but as an active participant, the innkeeper's honored guests. What audience can resist that invitation? Four of Chaucer's most popular tales have been selected during which you can bargain with the Pardoner, share in an eerie Dance of Death, or contribute an element to the Alchemist's spectacular demonstration of gold making. This is hearty fare for your audiences who want action, conflict and the stuff of real life—plus the thrill of participating!

Hints, Tips, and Tricks
- "Consider a dinner-theatre format. We used a stage and a wide centre aisle for the story re-enactments. Involve the audience as much as possible. Also: this is definitely a show for adults, not kids."
- Tip by Lorna Stratton, ICHTHYS Productions, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
