It’s 2am. Locked in a destructive cycle of love and self-loathing, history professor George and his wife Martha return home drunk from a party. As they draw naive young couple Nick and Honey into their bitter and warped world, what starts as a casual nightcap soon turns into a dangerous cocktail of truths and games.

Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Play, the 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton won multiple awards, including the British Academy Award for Best Film. Widely regarded as Albee’s most important work, the play is a witty, hugely entertaining, provocative and lacerating study of a marriage in crisis.

This must-see Made at Curve drama is directed by Curve’s Associate Director Cara Nolan (ROAD, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE).

Joining the previously announced BAFTA winner and Golden Globe nominee Cathy Tyson (MY FAIR LADY, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Curve) as Martha will be Patrick Robinson (AS YOU LIKE IT, Theatre Royal Bath, CASUALTY, BBC) as George, Martha’s disillusioned husband.

Taking on the roles of Nick and Honey, the young couple drawn into George and Martha’s dysfunctional world, will be George Kemp (JACK ABSOLUTE FLIES AGAIN, National Theatre, BRIDGERTON, Netflix) and Tilly Steele (DR WHO, BBC One, VICTORIA, Mammoth/ITV).
