Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

When Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened on Broadway in 1962, critics raved at what became a transformational play for the American theater. Targeting the modern American marriage, it broke new ground with its controversial profanity and sexual situations. Set in New England during the Cold War ‘60s, the marriage of George and Martha, with its razor-sharp dialogue and vicious taunts, is laid open for all to see. Winner of both the Tony and the New York Drama Critics awards for Best Play, it went on to become a very successful film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Dinner in the College Center Rotunda follow by a short walk to the theater. Last day to cancel is 4/10.
