Emmy and Golden Globe winner Gillian Anderson (Sex Education) and Emmy and Tony Award winner Billy Crudup (The Morning Show) star in this fierce new production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Playing a strictly limited run at @sohoplace, book your official tickets to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? today.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee is a tense, darkly comic drama set over one late-night gathering on a college campus. After a faculty party, Martha (Anderson) invites a young professor, Nick, and his wife Honey, back to their home - much to her husband George’s (Crudup) irritation.
As drinks flow and the night deepens, polite conversation gives way to biting exchanges and manipulative games. George and Martha draw their guests into their toxic dynamic, exposing uncomfortable truths and blurring the line between illusion and reality. By dawn, the evening reaches a powerful and unsettling climax, revealing the fragile foundations beneath both marriages.
This production contains strong language and scenes of intense verbal conflict. The play explores challenging themes within adult relationships and includes references to alcoholism, infertility, and child loss. Audience discretion is advised.
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.

Multi Tony Award playwright Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf plays at The Harold Pinter Theatre until 27 May. However, with Imelda Staunton and Conleth Hill tearing through Albee’s heart ripping play, it is a shame that it isn’t playing indefinitely.
