Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in London
Starring:
Billy Crudup, Gillian Anderson
Tickets will soon go on sale for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf at @sohoplace, opening on 21st September 2026. Gillian Anderson and Billy Crudup will lead a new production of Edward Albee's classic play about two married couples engaged in a toxic game that exposes the worst parts of themselves. Get ready for a brutal, scandalous, and dramatic play that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Why you should watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
- It has an all-star cast, headlined by Gillian Anderson, best known for X-Files and Sex Education, and Billy Crudup, who recently wowed audiences in the stage adaptation of the classic Western, High Noon.
- Audiences are especially thrilled to see Anderson tackle the iconic role of Martha, who's been played in the past by legends such as Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Rigg, and Imelda Staunton - and put her own spin on it.
- Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf has been thrilling audiences since it was first written over sixty years ago, with multiple awards and a smash-hit film adaptation under its belt - this new revival is the perfect way to introduce modern audiences to Albee's classic play.
What is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf about?
Edward Albee's 1962 play, a scintillating character study, follows a married couple who live on an American college campus: George, a boring middle-aged history professor and his caustic, abusive wife Martha. When they invite new professor Nick and his meek, mousey wife Honey to their home for some after-party drinks, the young couple finds themselves pulled into their hosts' toxic games. As Martha and George verbally spar, they bring Honey and Nick deeper into their cycle of abuse and lust, sending the night spiralling towards a brutal confrontation with reality.
Gillian Anderon (X-Files, Sex Education) will star as Martha and Billy Crudup (High Noon) will star as George, with Josh Dylan playing Nick and Phoebe Horn playing Honey. Marianne Elliot (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) will direct, with James Farncombe as lighting designer, Ian Dickinson as sound designer, and Miriam Buether as designer. Elliott said, “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a play of astonishing emotional precision—brutal, witty, and deeply human”, while Anderson added, "I've wanted to play Martha for decades." The play has been staged a number of times, spawned a film adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and has won a Tony Award and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. It has had an undeniable impact on theatre and popular culture, and this latest revival is sure to bring a bold, fresh take on this dizzying story of lust and scandal.
Don't miss this scintillating drama when it hits the stage this autumn, with an all-star cast bringing these unforgettable characters to life.

Brilliant performance!!!!It's been a long time since I've been so impressed by a theatre performance. The story is obviously a hard one, the love-and-hate relationship is hard to digest, yet it's a very rich territory for acting. I've seen this play several times (and in different languages) - yet this performance was simply brilliant - It's a must see!!

Emotionally Exhausting, powerful stuffI have ranked the music as average as it is really irrelevant the show not being a musical and having minimal music .

Excellent Value"Who's Aftaid of Virginia Wolfe" at the Harold Pinter Theatre was magnificent. I was upgraded on arrival from the Balcony to the Dress Circle which was a pleasant surprise. Imelda Staunton stole the show. 5* Thank you... ❤️

A masterclass"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" was a master class in acting. Fast paced & intense; we lived with the performers in their twisted world. Gripping from start to end with enough comic moments to give a little relief from the darkness in Albee's creation. Brilliant! Go and see this!

Vicious humanityThis is a gripping production of an outstanding play. The acting of all four leads is mesmeric and the tension and emotion can be felt throughout the three hour performance . Spellbinding performances ensure you never lose intense concentration and end emotionally drained . How can they possibly repeat it tomorrow ? And the next day ?? Thank you so much, it was a privilege to see.

Fabulous!Wasn't sure what to expect as I booked the tickets on a bit of a whim. So glad I did, such a classic, funny, moving, poignant, it had it all, I laughed and wanted to cry at times too. Imelda Staunton was outstanding.

Constructive thoughtsThis was an excellent production marred by just one thing. Those of us in the back 6 or 7 rows found it difficult to hear at times. In particular, Martha's plaintive appeal in the final act was almost impossible to hear. Fortunately, the actual words spoken weren't as important as the emotion communicated through her body and actions. This is theatre not TV!
