Kathleen Turner and Bebe Neuwirth will headline a free reading of Henri Becque's The Vultures in New York City Oct. 1.

The Flea Theater and Alliance Francaise present the reading, which is for 8 PM. Jim Simpson will direct the performance at Florence Gould Hall. More

"As the play's snarling older couple -- vindictive George and predatory Martha -- the twitchy Irwin and husky-voiced Turner made for an intriguing pairing from the start. (Irwin won a Tony for his portrayal, but Turner's was equally accolade-worthy.) The many months they have spent onstage together have allowed them to seal the impression of a truly diabolical domestic bond -- a marriage marinated in bile.

This is, as a result, an even funnier, tarter, more poisonously evolved version of the play. Albee's zingers have never seemed more lethal. Turner's Martha has grown needier, fouler. She's also more callous -- in the way that someone with a penchant for sucking the air out of a room doesn't care who else's oxygen she's hoarding. Her boozy come-ons to Nick, a receptive young academic operator, are positively chilling."

NEW YORK - George and Martha are going on the road. Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin will star in a five-month U.S. tour of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" starting Jan. 1 at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

The two actors played the battling couple in an acclaimed production of Albee's classic drama on Broadway last season and took the play to London where they will conclude a four-month, sold-out engagement Saturday.

After Washington, "Virginia Woolf," directed by Anthony Page, will play Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tucson, Ariz.
