Unity Hall is thrilled to announce the coming presentation of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf in partnership with the Theater at Woodshill on February 5-8, 2025.

 

The nine-year-old professional theatre company is well-known for its summer Shakespeare productions in its picturesque barn in Sauquoit, NY. Woodshill had its premiere winter collaboration with Unity Hall in 2023 with Tennessee Williams’ The Two-Character Play. The audience reception was highly enthusiastic with multiple sell-out performances in Unity Hall’s historic Landecker Theater. 

 

Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf is an absolutely electrifying and iconic work that opened on Broadway in 1962 with a production that received rave reviews for its raw power and provocative content winning the Tony Award for Best Play.

The play’s controversial exploration of a volatile co-dependent marriage and the effects that can come with psychological and emotional warfare sparked a new era in the American theater vernacular. The production ran for nearly two years and was adapted for the screen in 1966 in Mike Nichols’ directorial film debut starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sandy Dennis and George Segal.  The film earned 13 Academy Award nominations and won five.

The February 2025 production at Unity Hall will feature professionals Alastair Boag and Jane Elias imported from London and NY city, along with local professional actors Allen Guy Wilcox and Maggie Stephens, all of whom will be familiar to Woodshill’s Shakespeare audiences.

 

Performances will take place Wednesday, February 5 – Saturday, February 8 at 7:30PM.  Tickets are available online through Humanitix via the GET TICKETS buttons above and below at $30 general admission, $25 for Unity Hall members with a limited number of $20 student/educator tickets for all performances (I.D. required at the door).
