This rip-roaring, romp through Chaucer’s Middle Ages has been in rehearsal since September. A cast of 50 pupils from Years 7 -13 have been hard at work fro two nights a week to bring to you a show full of fun and laughter.

In a modern take on five of the best known tales, this version of “The Canterbury Tales” brings you fun-filled frolics, jesters and japes, naughty knights, pesky peasants and an unspeakably meddling Miller.

Come to the Clarence Hall in Crickhowell for a highly entertaining evening – medieval style.

Tickets are available from Cathy Mutlow in the school office tel. no. 01873 813500, or on the door.
