Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

A Canadian Stage Production

A timeless and twisted portrayal of married life

Late one night, after a university faculty soirée, George and Martha welcome a younger couple into their home. As the alcohol flows and dawn approaches, the young couple are drawn into George and Martha’s toxic games until the evening reaches its climax in a moment of devastating truth-telling.

Directed by Artistic Director Brendan Healy, this is an unmissable revival with an ensemble of Canada's best: real-life acting couples Paul Gross & Martha Burns and Mac Fyfe & Hailey Gillis take the stage together in this bruising, no-holds-barred drama.

This riveting play endures as a powerful commentary on society, solidifying its status as one of the best scripts of the last century.

Among the 3 best plays of all time – Time Out
A brilliantly original work of art - an excoriating theatrical experience, surging with shocks of recognition and dramatic fire – Newsweek
It is the most relentlessly loud, unremittingly fierce of 20th-century dramas. Its succulent insults and semaphoring action make it a showcase for actors. Almost dangerousl – The Guardian
