Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
by Edward Albee
directed by Michael O’COnnor
It’s 2.30am, Sunday morning in the early autumn of the 1960's. Nick, an opportunistic university professor, and his wife are invited to an after party at the home of the university president’s daughter Martha and her husband George, himself a senior professor. What is supposed to be a pleasant nightcap quickly turns into something unexpected.
Over this long night, the unwitting guests are drawn into a tour de force of humiliation, frustration and manipulation that will leave everyone’s cards face-up on the table.
Edward Albee’s celebrated dark comedy about a dysfunctional relationship is hailed as a classic of modern American drama. The 1966 movie adaptation is one of only two films to be nominated in all eligible Academy Awards categories.
