Quite a short play, this was, so we were able to eat at Harry Morgan after the show.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee, Aldwych Theatre, 14 December 1996

This was a wonderful production of “Virginia Woolf” which lives long in my and Janie’s memories.

Superb production

…was my comment in the log.

Here is the Theatricalia entry for this production.

Diana Rigg, David Suchet, Lloyd Owen and Clare Holman, with Howard Davies directing. Need I say more?
