Curve Theatre in Leicester is set to stage a new production of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? this autumn. The production will run from Saturday, October 18 to Saturday, November 8, with a press night on Thursday, October 23 at 7pm.

Directed by Curve’s Associate Director Cara Nolan, the production will star BAFTA winner and Golden Globe nominee Cathy Tyson as Martha. Further casting and production team members will be announced in due course.

Cara Nolan expressed her excitement about directing the play:

       

“I am thrilled to be directing what is widely regarded as one of the greatest American plays of the 20th Century, at Curve this autumn. The play’s intense exploration of marriage and disillusionment unfolds through Edward Albee’s expertly executed dialogue, full of sharp observation and wit. This will be realism at its best both in terms of design and performance. I am really looking forward to working on the play and cannot wait to share this great epic piece of theatre with audiences.”

Cathy Tyson, who has a long-standing relationship with Curve, shared her enthusiasm:

“I am really excited to return to Curve after the great fun of My Fair Lady last Christmas. This venue holds a dear place in my heart, so to star in this brand-new production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is very special indeed. To be able to bring this show to life in the fantastic Studio theatre will be truly fantastic. I can’t wait to work with Cara Nolan and to get under the skin of Martha’s character.”

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a powerful drama that delves into the complexities of marriage and disillusionment. The story follows history professor George and his wife Martha as they return home drunk from a party. Their interactions with a naive young couple, Nick and Honey, quickly escalate into a dangerous cocktail of truths and games.

Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster commented:

“After delivering a run of hit Christmas shows in our Studio theatre over the past few years, we are immensely proud our hugely talented associate director, Cara Nolan, will helm Edward Albee’s remarkable play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. This rare opportunity to experience Albee’s explosive masterpiece is made even more thrilling with the extraordinary Cathy Tyson taking on the iconic role of Martha — promising a truly unmissable production.”
