The Kiln Theatre is staging an updated version of the Wife of Bath's Tale by Zadie Smith who likes using Brent as a location. It will be interesting to compare it to Wife, which was staged earlier in the year.
The latter was a play set in 1959, 1989 and 2019 with three different scenarios taking Ibsen's A Doll's House as a starting point. Indhu Rubasingham record includes directing a production of a Doll's House in the past. The Chaucer tale is a reminder that depictions of assertive women are nothing new.
It is being produced as part of the wider Borough of Culture programme.
