Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to Play Broadway's Longacre Theatre

The upcoming revival of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has found its Broadway home at the Longacre Theatre. The production, headlined by Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin, is scheduled to start performances there on March 12.

A brutal look at an extremely bitter couple, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened on October 13, 1962 at the Billy Rose Theatre on Broadway. A Broadway revival took place in 1976 at the Music Box Theatre. The play was adapted into a 1966 film, which starred Elizabeth Taylor as Martha for which she won an Oscar and Richard Burton as George.

Before it hits Broadway this revival of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, directed by Anthony Page, will play the Wilbur Theatre in Boston from February 10 through March 6. In addition to Turner and Irwin, David Harbour and Mireille Enos star.
