Since first appearing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2004, “The Rap Canterbury Tales” has been taking the world by storm. The show re-creates Chaucer’s 14th century classic as an edgy rap battle, bringing the raunchy stories of lust and revenge to vivid new life. Hailed as one of the must-see shows at the Edinburgh Festival (“Truly awe-inspiring … 5 Stars!” - The Scotsman), Baba Brinkman’s medieval rap classic has ignited minds and sold-out theatres across Australia, Canada, England, and even at Harvard University. The Rogue Festival hit of ‘05 is returning for another round of rudeness. Don’t miss it!
