The Canterbury Tales or Geoffrey Chaucers Flying Circus Written AND Directed by Burton Bumgarner

Many believe that Chaucers literary masterpiece revolutionized English literature. Now you can revolutionize the study of this challenging literature by tossing in a good helping of Monty Python-styled humor to create this incredibly silly yet educational comedy. Youll meet many of the pilgrims whose tales are most likely to be studied in high school (along with a few Thanksgiving pilgrims that ended up in the wrong play!), including the knight, the miller, the parson, the pardoner, the nuns priest and the friar. Even the wife of Bath has cleaned up her act for this adaptation and is now a nagging woman who sells self-help DVDs! The miller, too, makes an appearance, though nobody wants to hear anything he has to say! Game show host Alex of Trebek and talk show host King Larry contribute a huge dose of additional irreverent fun, as do Geoffrey Chaucer himself, Harry Bailey and his wife, the Stage Manager and the Sign Changer. Youll be amazed just how much real knowledge both the cast and audience will absorb while enjoying this hysterical, screwball comedy.
