Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Returns to Broadway with Laurie Metcalf & Rupert Everett

The new star-packed revival of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? begins previews on March 3 at the Booth Theatre. Two-time Tony winner Joe Mantello directs the production, which will officially open on April 9. The cast includes two-time Tony winner Laurie Metcalf, Olivier nominee Rupert Everett, Olivier nominee Patsy Ferran and stage-and-screen veteran Russell Tovey.

Albee's Tony-winning 1962 play is set in the early hours of the morning on the campus of an American college, where Martha (Metcalf), much to the displeasure of her husband, George (Everett), has invited the new professor Nick (Tovey) and his wife, Honey (Ferran), to their home for some after-party drinks. As the alcohol flows and dawn approaches, the young couple are drawn into George and Martha's toxic games until the evening reaches its climax in a moment of devastating truth-telling.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? features scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Roth and lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer.
