In 2021, Corbett continued her work on creative histories and became attached to the AHRC's project The People of 1381 where she wrote a play about the 1381 Peasants' Revolt based on new research called Time Of The Rumour (originally called The Time of Rumours). It was developed with students at the University of Reading and received a rehearsed reading at the Essex Book Festival in 2023. An online game that "is the story of a woman caught up in the revolt" and based on the real life of peasant Margery Tawney was created to coincide with the writing of the play.
