What’s On Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? – An Oxford Playhouse Production

February 20 @ 7:00 pm - March 7 @ 10:30 pm

An Oxford Playhouse Production

By Edward Albee

Directed by Mike Tweddle

One evening. Two couples. No place to hide.

Welcome to the small hours at George and Martha’s – the alcohol is flowing, the gloves are off, and the games are just getting started.

Edward Albee’s multi award-winning play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a wild, gripping and darkly funny exploration of the lies we tell to protect ourselves.

Disillusioned university professor George and his wife Martha invite an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, into their home. It’s not long before things spiral, dragging everyone into the heart of a tempestuous relationship. What starts as a spur of the moment nightcap turns into psychological show down.

Edward Albee’s masterpiece of raw intensity and searing insight is directed by Oxford Playhouse Artistic Director Mike Tweddle. Don’t miss one of the most explosive nights in modern theatre.
