A new powerhouse production of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? comes to the West End this September. Starring Emmy and Golden Globe winner Gillian Anderson (The Crown, Sex Education, A Streetcar Named Desire) and Emmy and Tony Award winner Billy Crudup (Almost Famous, The Morning Show, Elephant Man).
Set in the round and directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse, Angels in America, Company), this fierce new production draws every spectator right into the eye of the storm…
“I swear…if you existed, I’d divorce you”
In the early hours of the morning on the campus of an American college, Martha, much to her husband George’s displeasure, has invited the new professor Nick and his wife Honey to their home for some after-party drinks. As the alcohol flows and dawn approaches, the young couple are drawn into George and Martha’s toxic games until the evening reaches its climax in a moment of devastating truth-telling.
Edward Albee’s Tony award-winning play has received a much talked about revival just months after his death in September 2016. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf famously missed out on the Pulitzer Prize for 1963 after the board objected to its sexual references and profanities; this lead to no prize being awarded that year.
