The Wife of Willesden

See "The Wife of Willesden" at the Loeb Drama Center Saturday, Feb. 25 through Friday, March 17. A proper local legend, Alvita will tell her life story to anyone in the local West London pub—there’s no shame in her game. This woman’s got the gift of the gab: she can rewrite mistakes into triumphs, turn pain into parables. And her love life? It’s an epic poem. They call her the Wife of Willesden. Join her for an evening that celebrates the human knack for telling elaborate tales. Winner of the 2022 Critics’ Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright, critically acclaimed and multi award-winning best-selling author Zadie Smith transforms an excerpt from Chaucer’s "The Canterbury Tales" into the unbelievable—and unforgettable.
