Gillian Anderson ‘s return to the West in is @sohoplace<\/a>. Their new production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?<\/a> from 21st September until 19th December 2026. She is starring as Martha alongside Billy Crudup as George. Also starring in the play is Josh Dylan as Nick and Phoebe Horn as Honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This iconic play by Edward Albee follows Martha and George, who invite a younger couple back to their home in the early hours. Over the night, the two couples engage in a series of escalating exchanges which moves towards a moment of truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonia Friedman Production is producing the show in association with Nica Burns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding todays announcement Friedman said the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEdward Albee\u2019s\u00a0Who\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?<\/a>\u00a0is one of the defining plays of the modern theatre \u2013 raw, ferociously funny and devastating in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo bring it to life with actors of the calibre of Gillian Anderson and Billy Crudup, under the direction of the extraordinary Marianne Elliott, is a thrilling prospect. Staged in the round @sohoplace<\/a>. This production will place audiences right inside George and Martha\u2019s dangerous games, in a play that remains as shocking and truthful today as when Albee first wrote it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
