Kelly, Childs Lead WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF 4/14-5/9

Matthew Kelly and Tracey Childs will will be performing in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Kelly and Childs will play George and Martha. Performances at Trafalgar Studio 2 begin on April 14 and runs until May 9.

The cast also includes Louise Kempton as Honey and Mark Farrelly as Nick. Andrew Hall directs. The show returns after being performed at Lichfield Garrick Theatre last fall.

The show was performed by Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin in the West End in 2006 who re-created their Broadway performances.

In this electrifying play, we meet George, a disillusioned academic, and Martha, his caustic wife, who have just come home from a faculty party. When a handsome young professor and his mousy wife stop by for a nightcap, an innocent night of fun and games quickly turns dark and dangerous. Long-buried resentments are unleashed as George and Martha turn their rapier-sharp wits against each other, using their guests as pawns in their verbal sparring. By night's end, the secrets of both couples are uncovered and the lies they cling to are exposed.
