Laurie Metcalf and Eddie Izzard will be returning to Broadway next year in a new revival of the classic play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

The production, which will begin performances in March 2020 for a strictly limited engagement, will also star Russell Tovey and Olivier Award winning actress Patsy Ferran.

Laurie will now be appearing in Broadway productions for five consecutive seasons. She was nominated for a Tony in 2016 for her work in Misery, won for A Doll’s House, Part 2 in 2017, won in 2018 for Three Tall Women, and is eligible this year for her current performance in Hillary and Clinton.

Eddie‘s performance will mark his return to Broadway after ten years away!

The production will be directed by two-time Tony winner Joe Mantello and produced by Scott Rudin.

John Lithgow and Laurie Metcalf are on the cover of the latest issue of Variety, out now.

Here’s what the Hillary And Clinton co-stars had to say…

John, on the potential controversy of Hillary And Clinton in an era of contentious and divided politics “If the play is controversial, I would say it’s controversial just in the fact that it’s being done. Because people reflexively think,‘What are the real Bill and Hillary going to think about this play?’”

Laurie, on the effect of setting Hillary And Clinton during the 2008 presidential primary: “There are a few lines at the end of the play that are haunting to me, because we’ve seen the 10 years that these characters have not seen yet. It makes them seem vulnerable, because we know what they don’t know.”

Laurie, on the audience reaction she expects: “If I watched it, I think I would be shocked in places. It’s a comedy with chasms.”
