In the cathedral city of Rochester, con-man Arty, who fell out with his religious parents years ago, diverts tourists' attention by reciting Shakespeare whilst his friends Baz and Colin pick pockets. A year earlier, a young girl was killed and now another, Amy, has vanished. Arty decides to cash in on the tragedy by falsely starting a collection for the search party but they're approached by the mysterious Kitty, who tells them she knows Amy is dead and that she can reveal who killed her.
About Canterbury Tales
Six single dramas adapted from six of Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century Canterbury Tales, transferred to a modern, 21st century setting, but still set along the traditional Pilgrims' route to Canterbury.
