Don't miss this "first-rate revival of an astonishing play" (The Guardian). The National Theatre Live's presentation of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf features Imelda Staunton (Gypsy, Vera Drake, the Harry Potter films), Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones, The Producers), Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, The Hollow Crown) and Imogen Poots (A Long Way Down, Jane Eyre) in James Macdonald’s critically acclaimed, 5 star production of Edward Albee’s landmark play, broadcast live to cinemas from the Harold Pinter Theatre, London.

The play takes place on an American college campus where Martha, to her husband George's chagrin, invites a new professor and his wife home for after-party drinks. When the alcohol flows and the night is waning, the couple's toxic games reach a devastating climax.
