Unruly Woman

 It is impossible
 That any clerk speak well of women.
 Who painted the lion, tell me, who?
 By God, if women had written stories
 As clerks have in their studies
 They would have written more of men?s wickedness
 Than all the mark of Adam might redress.

(Geoffrey Chaucer, The Wife of Bath?s Prologue).

Storyteller and academic Daisy Black presents an indecorous assortment of medieval tales from around Europe about women who gain the upper hand ? or, occasionally, the upper arse.

These are stories of sex, of disguise and deception, of arse-kissing, and of women finding creative, naughty, and cunning ways to overcome the restrictions placed upon them by their gender and class.

Interlacing medieval fables and romance with bawdy folk songs, this one-woman performance pays homage to literature?s original ?nasty women?.

The performance lasts for one hour and is suitable for ages 16 and up.

Doors at 6:30. Combine the magic of Daisy?s storytelling with the Café?s tasty menu of food, cakes, and drinks! A warm welcome awaits.
