The Wife of Willesden is Zadie Smith's debut foray into stage writing. A modern and riotous twenty-first-century interpretation of Geoffrey Chaucer's classic "The Wife of Bath's Prologue," this work brings vibrant life to the Kilburn High Road. In this adaptation commissioned to celebrate Brent's designation as Borough of Culture 2020, Zadie Smith presents a dynamic and contemporary narrative that premiered at the Kiln Theatre, London, in September 2020. The story revolves around a woman who, having been married five times, fearlessly shares her life story, unapologetically revealing her truth to anyone willing to listen.
