Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

About

James Macdonald directs a new production of Edward Albee’s landmark play, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Imelda Staunton as Martha, Conleth Hill as George, Luke Treadaway as Nick, and Imogen Poots as Honey. The revival emphasizes psychological realism and the shifting power dynamics between two couples over a long, alcohol-soaked night. Tom Pye’s design evokes a dingy 1950s American interior that mirrors post-war affluence turned stale and a marriage in decay. The running time is approximately three hours to three hours and fifteen minutes, with an interval and a brief pause between acts. A strict latecomers policy was enforced, with readmission only at the interval or pause, and the theatre requested that audiences refrain from eating during the performance to preserve concentration. Accessibility initiatives included over 100 low-price tickets for every performance during previews and the main run, plus day-of-performance Rush tickets via TodayTix.
