Target audience

Two versions of the play were produced. One aimed at young children, and one aimed at teens. Rick was involved in both, but co-wrote the latter.

Synopsis

Based on three of Chaucer's tales, with a focus on the morality fables rather than the baudiness, three pilgrims meet and each tells the others a story, in a contest to see who buys dinner.

​

One of the tales is a dark tale of two brothers who go looking for death but find a fortune in gold instead. One tells of a knight who offends a young maiden and must answer the riddle of what women most desire in order to avoid punishment. The third is of a trusting merchant and a dishonourable friend.

​

The play included live music, singing and dance.
