Your Tax Deductible Donations to the McCune Collection Will Help Support the Upcoming Canterbury: The Reeve's Tale! DONATE NOW.

 

Shows October 9 & 10, 2015 in Napa

Canterbury's Miller's Tale: a rowdy puppet play of sex and deceit, will be presented at Alexis Baking Company (ABC) - 1517 Third Street - as part of their ongoing 30th Anniversary Celebration -  on Friday and Saturday, October 9th and 10th. Magical Moonshine Theatre will present their internationally acclaimed "Miller's Tale" from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," accompanied by a delicious "medieval" meal by the culinary masters at ABC Bakery.  Doors open at 7pm for merriment and socializing, and dinner starts at 7:30 with show to follow.  The design of the play is based on the Kelmscott Chaucer, produced by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, and the show features live music, singing, acting and even a miniature joust!  Tickets are $65.00 and can be reserved by calling ABC at 707-258-1827 or by going to ABC's website: abcnapa.com with your name/address and phone number.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated to help fill the coffers of the Valley Fire Evacuees and we recommend this show for adults and mature teens.

In The Miller's Tale, the Reeve insists the Miller is too drunk to recount any tale but the Miller goes ahead, spinning a bawdy yarn about sex, love, infidelity, trickery and midnight shenanigans. Our play proceeds on several levels, with the actors/musicans taking the roles played by both Chaucer and the Innkeeper who encourage the tales, the hand puppets playing the roles of the story tellers, and the beautiful paper scenes and figures telling the tales themselves (when the hand puppets or actors let them!)

Tickets now available for October 9 & 10 by calling ABC Bakery at 707-258-1827

Costumes and Medieval Garb is optional but fun!
