GWB Entertainment: Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
5 July @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST
When Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre presented Edward Albee’s corrosive black comedy in December last year, with Kat Stewart as Martha and David Whiteley as George, the season sold out before it opened. Hailed as “electrifying”, the production, directed by Sarah Goodes, is now being given a strictly limited commercial run at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre. It’s the first time a Red Stitch show has moved from its 80-seat St Kilda home to a larger venue. Snap up your tickets while you can.
Limelight Editor’s Choice
Sold out even before it opened last year, this critically acclaimed Red Stitch production of Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? comes to the Comedy Theatre stage for a strictly limited season from 29 June.
Starring stage and screen legend, Logie and AFI Award winner Kat Stewart (Underbelly, Offspring, Disgraced, Heisenberg) and directed by Helpmann Award winner Sarah Goodes (Sunday, The Children, Julia).
In this jet-black comedy featuring some of the most cracking dialogue and savage one-liners ever written for the stage, real-life couple, Kat Stewart and David Whiteley play Martha and George, whose marriage is served up to their unwitting guests, played by Emily Goddard and Harvey Zielinski, as a taste of the humiliations and the inevitable compromises to come.
