Storytelling |
When all entertainment must be live, the art of storytelling
is a delightful skill. Several ofof the company would share a variety
of tales from such diverse sources as the ever-popular Arthurian legends
as interpreted by Chrétien de Troyes and Sir Thomas Malory; Chaucer’s
immortal Canterbury Tales and Boccaccio’s Decameron
with its hundred mainly saucy tales which provided Chaucer, Shakespeare
and many others with their plots. The “naughty elements”
were toned down rather than cause offence, although they would not have
offended medieval sensibilities!
