TAMWORTH — Locals are being given the rare opportunity to be among the first to see “Far From Canterbury,” a new musical with book, music and lyrics by Danny K. Bernstein, which made its professional world premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 11, at The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth and will be performed through Aug. 21.

Traditionally, by the time a show makes it to a stage in rural New Hampshire, it has been on Broadway, has toured the country and then, finally, is made available for smaller regional producing companies to put up. This is an inversion of that template.
