In her debut play, bestselling author Zadie Smith (On Beauty) gives us Alvita, a Jamaican-born British woman in her mid-50s holding court at a North West London pub. BAM presents this modern translation of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in association with American Repertory Theater after an acclaimed run in London. Directed by Indhu Rubasingham with an ensemble cast starring Clare Perkins, this exuberant and verbally inventive play showcases the pleasures of Smith’s quick wit. Rich with frank sexuality, it celebrates free expression and the human urge both to live stories and share them.
