Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

About the Show

Monsters can live in ordinary bodies and ordinary lives. Witness college professor George and his wife Martha. For years they’ve devoted themselves to destroying each other with malicious word games, betrayals and humiliations. On one particularly well-lubricated evening, they invite the young and unsuspecting Nick and Honey to watch their painful disintegration (or possible salvation) as a couple – and as human beings. This play is so gritty and beautifully crafted it instantly guaranteed Edward Albee a hallowed place among American playwrights. Directed by David Esbjornson, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? stars Patrick Stewart and Mercedes Ruehl.
