Description

A bitter marriage unravels in Edward Albee's darkly humorous play—winner of the Tony Award for Best Play.

“Twelve times a week,” answered actress Uta Hagen when asked how often she’d like to play Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? In the same way, audiences and critics alike could not get enough of Edward Albee’s masterful play. A dark comedy, it portrays husband and wife George and Martha in a searing night of dangerous fun and games. By the evening’s end, a stunning, almost unbearable revelation provides a climax that has shocked audiences for years. With its razor-sharp dialogue and the stripping away of social pretense, Newsweek rightly foresaw Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as “a brilliantly original work of art—an excoriating theatrical experience, surging with shocks of recognition and dramatic fire [that] will be igniting Broadway for some time to come.”

About the Author

Noted American playwrightEdward Franklin Albeeexplored the darker aspects of human relationships in plays likeWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1962) andThree Tall Women(1991), which won his third Pulitzer Prize.People know Edward Franklin Albee III for works, includingThe Zoo Story,The SandboxandThe American Dream.He well crafted his works, considered often unsympathetic examinations of the modern condition. His early works reflected a mastery and Americanization of the theater of the absurd, which found its peak in European playwrights, such asJean Genet,Samuel Barclay Beckett, andEugène Ionesco. Younger Pulitzer Prize-winnerPaula Vogelcredits daring mix of theatricalism and biting dialogue of Albee with helping to reinvent the postwar theater in the early 1960s. Dedication of Albee to continuing to evolve his voice — as evidenced in later productions such asThe Goat or Who Is Sylvia?(2000) — also routinely marks him as distinct of his era.Albee described his work as "an examination of the American Scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, a condemnation of complacency, cruelty, and emasculation and vacuity, a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy-keen."
