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!
