The Canterbury Tales Remixed, written by Baba Brinkman with original music by Mr. Simmonds, coming soon to the Soho Playhouse in New York. Go to http://www.sohoplayhouse.com for tickets, or call 212-352-3101.
Fresh from a smash-hit five-month off-Broadway run of his paean to Charles Darwin, The Rap Guide to Evolution, Baba Brinkman brings you a rich theatrical experience filled with laugh-out-loud hilarity and riveting storytelling, tracing a thread from Chaucer's venal Merchant and sensuous Wife of Bath, to the muscular heros of ancient lore, so similar to today's rap stars in their perpetual quest for glory.
As a reviewer from The Stage in Edinburgh put it: "Fans of Snoop Dogg and Seamus Heaney will be equally inspired."
I am very much hoping that the Miller's tale was in there somewhere... rap might just work very well on the fablieaux... ;)
