A SEARING drama at Wokingham Theatre will raise funds on its first night charity performance for Wokingham charity Promise Inclusion.

The charity supports people with a learning disability and/or autism, their families and carers.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe is a tense three-act masterpiece, written by American playwright in 1962.

It takes place at the home of college professor George, and his wife Martha, both of whom have returned home drunk from a party.

Inviting a young colleague and his wife to stop by for a nightcap, the unhappy couple treat their two guests to a cruel display of disunity.

Drinks flow, inhibitions melt, and a long-held secret is revealed during a rollercoaster of an evening.

The production will run at Wokingham Theatre, from Wednesday, April 29, through to Saturday, May 9, with the exception of Sunday.

Performances start at 7.45pm, with tickets for the fundraiser first night (Wednesday, April 29) costing £16.

Ticket sales for this night will go directly to Promise Inclusion.

For charity night tickets, people should call: 0300 777 8539.
