Our Next Production

Playing Up will be back at The Rondo on Wed 12th November with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee.  This play has been unavailable to non-professional companies for nearly a decade.  This will be Playing Up's fifth anniversary and it seems highly appropriate to celebrate with a brilliant and intense play by an acknowledged master playwright.
