June 18, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$15
Puppets at Night series for adults continues with Michael and Valerie Nelson’s Miller’s Tale…
Sex, love, trickery…Chaucer! Join us as puppetry’s masters of ”naughty” toy theater Michael and Valerie Nelson bring a medieval literary masterpiece to life. Hand puppets, paper figures, actors, and musicians vie with each other to recount ”The Miller’s Tale,” wherein the Reeve insists the Miller is too drunk to tell a single story. Of course, the Miller goes ahead anyway, spinning a bawdy yarn about midnight shenanigans…and more. This raucous production features live music, medieval costumes, and exquisite paper puppets and scenery inspired by the lavishly illustrated Kelmscott edition of Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.
