Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Immerse yourself in Edward Albee‘s epoch-defining masterpiece WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? exclusively at Curve this Autumn.

It’s 2am. Locked in a destructive cycle of love and self-loathing, history professor George and his wife Martha return home drunk from a party. As they draw naive young couple Nick and Honey into their bitter and warped world, what starts as a casual nightcap soon turns into a dangerous cocktail of truths and games.

Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Play, the 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton won multiple awards, including the British Academy Award for Best Film. Widely regarded as Albee’s most important work, the play is a witty, hugely entertaining, provocative and lacerating study of a marriage in crisis.

This must-see Made at Curve drama is directed by Curve’s Associate Director Cara Nolan (ROAD, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE).

Nick Mohammed is Mr. Swallow: Show Pony

TASKMASTER loser & TED LASSO star Nick Mohammed returns as his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow with a brand new show: SHOW PONY – now with further tour dates added!

Mr. Swallow has recently been seen making everyone laugh in Amazon Prime’s hit show LAST ONE LAUGHING, as well as appearing on numerous episodes of Channel 4’s 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN. He made his BBC debut at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards with – frankly – terrifying results, a lot of which is discussed in SHOW PONY for therapeutic reasons.

SHOW PONY has been described by Mr. Swallow as “payback for everyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and “my most personal/libelous show to date” and will cover everything from not having his own sitcom to not having his own sitcom… and everything in between (critical race theory).

As per – expect magic, music and a whole load of brand new mistakes… balanced seamlessly with a story about Tim Henman.

We Are The Lions, Mr Manager!

Townsend Theatre Productions presents WE ARE THE LIONS, MR MANAGER! – the story of Jayaben Desai and the Grunwick Strike.

In 1976, six workers walked out of Grunwick Film Processing Laboratory and Factory in Willesden. They staged a strike against their poor working conditions, demanding the right to join a union.

Less than two years later, those six had been joined by 20,000 supporters in an historic dispute fighting for better rights for poorly treated workers. Predominantly Asian women, these strikers shattered stereotypes, challenged the establishment, brought a community together to support the rights of workers and changed the face of trade unionism.

On the 50th anniversary of the start of the Grunwick Strike, Townsend Theatre Productions celebrates their bravery, bringing their inspirational story to a new generation with “We Are The Lions, Mr Manager!”, an imaginative and stylish production with songs and music of the time.

★★★★★ ‘Magnificent Play’. The Morning Star.

★★★★ ‘The story of Jayaben Desai… makes you laugh, feel and think… a powerful story, powerfully told’. The Observer.
