Review: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? - The Jewish Chronicle

Andrew Hall’s compact production of Edward Albee’s devastating dysfunctional marriage play packs extra punch in this venue’s living room-sized studio. Like Martha (Tracey Childs) and George’s (Matthew Kelly) terrorised guests, Nick (Mark Farrelly) and Honey (Louise Kempton), the audience get a terrifyingly up-close and extremely personal view of the hosts’ alcohol-fuelled marital rage. Kelly’s cardigan-wearing George is a fascinating Philip Larkin-like intellectual misanthropist. A harrowing pleasure.
