One evening. Two couples. No place to hide.

Welcome to the small hours at George and Martha’s – the alcohol is flowing, masks are off, and the mind games are just getting started.

Edward Albee’s Tony Award-winning play is a tense, gripping, and darkly funny exploration of truth and illusion and the lies we tell ourselves and those closest to us to keep up a façade.

Disillusioned university professor George and his wife Martha invite an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, into their home. It’s not long before things spiral into the very heart of a tempestuous and volatile relationship. What starts as a spur of the moment nightcap turns into a psychological show down.

Playhouse Artistic Director Mike Tweddle brings Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to the stage with raw intensity and searing insight. Don’t miss this electrifying modern classic - one of theatre’s most explosive nights.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
