WARRINGTON-based Armchair Theatre are to present Edward Albee’s iconic play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” at the Brindley Theatre, Runcorn, in September.
The group – formerly known as Consensus Theatre – had a sell-out success with their last production – “Blithe Spirit” – at the same venue in February and are now trying something completely different.
Albee’s ground-breaking work was adapted for the big screen in 1966, starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, subsequently winning Taylor the Oscar for Best Actress and Sandy Dennis for Best Supporting Actress.
It is currently enjoying a successful revival in London’s West End, starring Imelda Staunton.
Phillip Wade, co-founder of Armchair Theatre, said: “We are extremely lucky to have secured the Rights for this play.
“It really is a fantastic script – audiences are in for a real treat as they are taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. If you like drama, intrigue and a ‘twist in the tale’ then this is definitely for you!”
The play will be staged on September 28 and 29.
