James Macdonald directs a new production of multi Tony and
Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Edward Albee’s landmark play Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?
Starring Olivier and Bafta award-winning actress Imelda
Staunton (Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, Edward Albee’s A Delicate Balance); Olivier
award-winner Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones, Stones In His Pockets, The
Producers); Olivier award-winner Luke Treadaway (The Curious Incident of the
Dog in the Night-Time, Fortitude, The Hollow Crown) and Imogen Poots, in her

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.
