Who's Afraid Of Virgina Woolf?

Edward Albee’s play took Broadway by storm in the sixties and has reverberated round the world ever since. There are no fewer than four professional productions of this play in Australia this year – ours is the first, at the end of March (28 – 31), then Company B in Sydney (Aug 4 – Sept 16), then the Melbourne Theatre Company (Aug 17 – Oct 6), then the Queensland Theatre Company (Oct 4 – Nov 3)

What is it about this Albee play? Better come and see for yourself…!

The Company has already been out and about in North Queensland this year. Madonna Davies has been working with the communities in the Dalrymple Shire and this will translate into applications for support under the Regional Arts Development Programme for a range of activity later in the year for many of Dalrymple’s smaller communities.

Susan Prince has been working in the Gulf and the north western Tablelands regions under the Auspices of Education Queensland’s Priority Country Area Programme. She has been working in small and remote schools helping them all prepare for the Regional Schools Eisteddfod which takes place 17 th March We hope to have some pictures on the website shortly from these residencies.
