Geoffrey Chaucer & Company Presents
Physician’s & Pardoner’s Tales
A dark musical that explores lust and greed
7 actors, 3-piece orchestra – approx. 1 hour 45 minutes
Judicial corruption leads to tragic end when the local judge tries to gain possession of a knight’s lovely daughter. This short tale leads us down a path where the escape from potential shame and abuse is death by her father’s hands. This is followed by a kind of surreal parable of the Pardoner’s Tale in which three drunken rogues seek out Death to destroy it. It is their own greed that leads them to death in the end – death at each other’s hands.
