Stop into Nordo’s Knife Room for an evening of bawdy tales and flowing ales in Noveltease Theatre’s site-specific adaptation of Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. As a group of travelers gather in a bar, the tales they tell come alive through the art of burlesque. With lusty wives, corrupt clergymen, and more than one cock joke, the Middle Ages are hornier than you think.
