Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

by Edward Albee

Directed by Dan Dryer

Taking place during the course of one brutal and hilarious night, George, a college professor and his wife Martha invite a young couple back for late night drinks after a faculty party. As the alcohol flows, their guests are coerced into witnessing and participating in George and Martha’s sadistic game-playing and vitriolic verbal scrapping, revealing shocking secrets about each person.

A sensation when first staged on Broadway in 1962, Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? was soon established as one of the great plays in post-war American drama, winning both a Tony Award and New York Drama Critics’ Circle award for Best Play. Its reputation was further enhanced by the 1966 film adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Over sixty years on from its premiere, it is now seen as one of the most influential and highly regarded plays in American literature.

"Not just meticulously plotted but psychologically acute... a masterpiece” Daily Telegraph

“It's the greatest slanging match in the theatrical canon” Daily Mail

“Viciously funny” Guardian
