Photo Coverage: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Opens in London

The show features Tony Award-winner Bill Irwin (The Goat, Mostly New York) as George, while Tony Award-nominees Kathleen Turner (The Graduate in London and on Broadway, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, many films), Mireille Enos (Absurd Person Singular, The Invention of Love) and David Harbour (The Invention of Love, The Rainmaker) who are recreating their roles as Martha, Honey and Nick, respectively. The production, which is directed by Anthony Page (who also staged the current hit London revival of Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana), will mark the the first time since 1996 that the caustic Edward Albee classic has been seen on the West End; David Suchet and Diana Rigg headlined that production a decade ago.

The Broadway production closed on March 20th, 2005 at the Longacre Theatre after having played 8 previews and 176 performances. Despite stellar reviews (The New York Times called it a "pulse-racing masterpiece"), the show's business lost steam during the final weeks of the fun.
