Friedman Productions present Imelda Staunton (Gypsy, Vera Drake,
the Harry Potter films); Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones, The
Producers); Luke Treadaway (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the
Night-Time, Fortitude, The Hollow Crown) and Imogen Poots (A
Long Way Down, Jane Eyre) in James Macdonald’s new production of
Edward Albee’s landmark play, broadcast live to cinemas from the Harold Pinter
Theatre, London.
In
the early hours of the morning on the campus of an American college, Martha,
much to her husband George’s displeasure, has invited the new professor and his
wife to their home for some after-party drinks. 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.
