Martin Starkie and Nevill Coghill’s whimsical 1969 Broadway musical comedy 'Canterbury Tales' opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre featuring a delightfully infectious, rock-infused medieval score by Richard Hill and John Hawkins. The narrative masterfully adapts Geoffrey Chaucer’s classic 14th-century literary text, staging a raucous, bawdy collection of vignettes—including The Miller's Tale and The Wife of Bath's Tale—as a group of travelers share stories on a pilgrimage. Directed by Starkie, the production starred Hermione Baddeley and Martyn Green.
