Some Canterbury Tales
Geoffrey Chaucer
The Wife of Willesden
by Geoffrey Chaucer, Zadie Smith
Synopsis
A proper local legend.
Married five times.
Mother.
Lover.
Aunt.
Friend.
Alvita will tell her life story to anyone in the pub – there’s no shame in her game.
The question is: are you ready to hear it?
Because this woman’s got the gift of the gab: she can rewrite mistakes into triumphs, turn pain into parables, and her love life’s an epic poem.
They call her The Wife of Willesden… A play that celebrates the human knack for telling elaborate tales, especially about our own lives.
Critically acclaimed, multi-award winning, best-selling author Zadie Smith‘s The Wife of Willesden transports Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath to 21st Century North West London.
