SUMMARY:The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company presents - "The Wife"
DESCRIPTION:\n\nIt’s spring on the road to Canterbury. Alyson of Bath\, c
 loth-maker\, widow\, pilgrim\, and five-times-married expert in the arts o
 f love\, has plenty to say and no intention of holding her tongue. As hoov
 es clip-clop and birdsong bubbles\, she tells of husbands rich and foolish
 \, charming and cruel\, and the hard bargains of love. Then comes her tale
  of a young knight\, a terrible crime\, and a question that sends him wand
 ering the world in search of an answer no one can agree on. A hilarious an
 d beautiful poetic romp of word\, wit and song\, the play bristles with pr
 ovocation and\, just maybe\, whispers a hard-won truth about love\, power\
 , and what women most desire. The Wife is The Rude Mechanical Theatre Comp
 any’s original musical play inspired by Chaucer’s Wife of Bath. Bursti
 ng with live music\, poetry and physical comedy\, this outdoor production 
 is by turns hilarious\, provocative and tender. Touring towns and villages
  across southern England this summer.\n\nRunning time: Approximately two a
 nd a half hours\, including interval.\n\nAudience: Adults\; suitable for m
 ature children able to sit for the full performance. Performances take pla
