Mappa Mundi bring their dramatic and comical stage adaptation of medieval literature’s great epic, Canterbury Tales to Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th October, promising a light hearted, joyous and slightly naughty theatrical outing! The production has been revised and updated since it was last performed in Cardigan to two packed houses two and a half years ago, before a smash hit tour of Wales totaling over 3,800 admissions. But it’s still just as entertaining, cheeky and affectionate an interpretation of Chaucer’s text as you are likely to come by, filling the stage with their unique brand of boisterous comedy, romance, fetching images and heaps of wit and charm.Wales based company Mappa Mundi have built up an enthusiastic following for their entertaining and accessible adaptations of classic works. When Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, it was a social satire of the times, a snapshot of medieval life and its humanity. He gave the ordinary man a voice and this still resonates in the twenty first century. Like Chaucer, Mappa Mundi know that people love hearing a good story, and they certainly know how to tell one! Directed by Richard Nichols, Mappa Mundi’s Canterbury Tales is a joyous production, full of earthy humour, and an entertaining evening is promised for all. Please note, due to its bawdy nature, this production is suitable for those aged 12 and over. Tickets are £12 (£10 concessions).
