National Theatre Live: The Wife of Willesden
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. Zadie Smith transports Chaucer's The Wife of Bath to 21st Century North West London, directed by Kiln Theatre Artistic Director, Indhu Rubasingh. A production from Kiln Theatre.
