Chicken Tinders
A musical fable inspired by The Nun’s Priest’s Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
Book and Lyrics by Scott Zenreich
Music and Lyrics by John Gregor
Chicken Tinders is a fable, in the spirit of Chaucer, about the last Chicken in a farm’s pecking order. One morning, the Rooster who normally crows to bring up the Sun dies, and the Farm is thrown into a frenzy, believing it is the last day on Earth. It is a zany, heartfelt allegory about making original art and what we prioritize in perhaps our final moments.
