'I swear ... if you existed, I'd divorce you.'

Martha and George's marriage has become more and more dysfunctional over the years, and everything comes to a head on this one night, when new biology professor Nick and his wife Honey join them for a night cap after a faculty party.

This bitter ageing couple will use the young guests and plenty of alcohol to inflict emotional pain and anguish towards each other, until a surprising revelation shatters the illusion and brings everything to a halt.

Come see this American classic, full of drama, wit, and some of the best writing you'll ever see. Just 1 week to go!

Showing for 2 nights only - 7th & 8th June

Rehearsals are well underway for 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' by Edward Albee - an intense, absurd, darkly humorous play that examines the complexities of a marriage on its last legs, and the young guests that see it unravel.

The play explores themes around truth, disillusionment and reality - What are the fictions we tell ourselves? What are the illusions that keep us comfortable and safe, but also trapped?

Take a look at some pictures of our wonderful cast! 🎭
