About This Event

A BA Acting performance of *The Wife of Willesden* will be held at the Grosvenor East theatre, Manchester Metropolitan University on 20 November 2026 at 19:30. The event is priced at £5.50. The play centres on Alvita, a character recounting her life through five marriages and various roles.

Five marriages under her belt. Mother. Lover. Auntie. Confidante. Alvita has lived it all, and she’ll happily tell you every last detail over a drink. No shame, no filter, no apologies. The only real question is: are you ready for her?

From the critically acclaimed, multi‑award‑winning author Zadie Smith, this “irresistibly rambunctious” (The Telegraph) adaptation catapults Chaucer’s renowned Wife of Bath straight into 21st‑century North West London. Join us for the first regional production of this exciting play as part of the National Year of Reading.

*Student ID will need to be presented on arrival when using a student ticket.

*If you have any access needs please book an accesible ticket and we will ensure one of our team will be on hand on the day of the show to assist.
