Attended a performance of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales that was very well done. Simply delightful. The cast brought a mix of classic language and story up to date with contemporary language and imagery in this Elizabethan-style playhouse.

Much Ado about Nothing was a well done, interactive and hilarious! If you can't afford the ticket and dinner, eat at the V and see the play for $12 on preview nights! More
