Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

18th October - 8th November
Curve Theatre, Rutland Street, Leicester, LE1 1SB

Immerse yourself in Edward Albee‘s epoch-defining masterpiece Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? exclusively at Curve this Autumn.

It’s 2am. Locked in a destructive cycle of love and self-loathing, history professor George and his wife Martha return home drunk from a party. As they draw naive young couple Nick and Honey into their bitter and warped world, what starts as a casual nightcap soon turns into a dangerous cocktail of truths and games.

Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Play, the 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton won multiple awards, including the British Academy Award for Best Film. Widely regarded as Albee’s most important work, the play is a witty, hugely entertaining, provocative and lacerating study of a marriage in crisis.

This must-see Made at Curve drama is directed by Curve’s Associate Director Cara Nolan (ROAD, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE) and stars BAFTA winner and Golden Globe nominee Cathy Tyson (Curve’s MY FAIR LADY, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Netflix’s KAOS, DUNE: PROPHESY) as Martha, with further casting to be announced.

Truth or illusion – do you know the difference?

Running time: Approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes (performance includes x2 15 minute intervals)
