HCUK is pleased to invite its members to see a new play at Kiln Theatre
THE WIFE OF WILLESDEN
Adapted by Zadie Smith from Chaucer’s THE WIFE OF BATH
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 (Radcliffe Fellow 2002-2003) makes her playwriting debut, transporting Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath to 21st Century North-West London.
Director Indhu Rubasingham invites you to take your seat at the bar, order a pint or two, and listen to this bawdy, beautiful new comedy up close, and very, very personal. The Kiln Theatre auditorium will be transformed into the infamous Sir Colin Campbell pub, complete with some pub tables in the stalls.
