Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
by Edward Albee

Directed by Nan-Lynn Nelson

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee is an iconic American classic that won 5 Tony Awards for its Broadway debut in 1963.  It has had numerous award-winning revivals and continues to be a theatrical challenge. George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, that she has invited a young couple – an opportunistic new professor at the college and his naïve new bride – to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter which engulfs both couples lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, finally revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.
