A late-night gathering exposes a marriage through escalating psychological games.
In the early hours on a university campus, Martha invites a younger couple, Nick and Honey, back to her home with her husband George. What begins as post-party drinks develops into a prolonged night of alcohol-fuelled exchanges, as George and Martha draw their guests into a series of increasingly personal and confrontational games, culminating in revelations that expose the fragile boundaries between truth and illusion.
This production is directed by Marianne Elliott (War Horse, Angels in America, Company) and presented in the round at @sohoplace.
Written by Edward Albee, the play examines the dynamics of a long-term marriage, exploring themes of illusion, dependency, and emotional conflict within intimate relationships.
