Taking its inspiration from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, Bath Time opens with Chaucer sitting in the Tabard Inn with a bad case of writer’s block. Enter the Wife of Bath, seeking shelter from the springtime rain, as she makes her way to Canterbury on pilgrimage to atone for her lusty sins. To pass the time, she tells Chaucer a story about an ignoble knight who is transformed into a man of honor with the help of a wise old crone. With ribald humor and poetry, she not only solves Chaucer’s writer’s block, but she also answers the age-old question: What do women really want?
