Based on Edward Albee’s acclaimed 1962 play, WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? is a raucous, dramatic late-night like no other. The directorial debut of Mike Nichols, the film features searing performances from the entire cast, including the unforgettable real-life couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Shot in vivid black & white by renowned cinematographer Haskell Wexler, this is a cinematic marvel that has lost none of its power.
Two weeks until this classic screens for free in the @aftrs theatre 🍸 Tuesday 26 May, doors open 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start. All welcome 😊
