The infamous braying of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'s Martha will soon be hushed.  A New York Times ad has tokened the final weeks of the Edward Albee revival, although no specific closing date has been set.

A bitterly funny play about a night of pyschological warfare between two married couples, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf stars Kathleen Turner as Martha, David Harbour as Nick, Mireille Enos as Honey and Bill Irwin as George.  The latter was honored with a 2005 Tony for Best Actor in a Play, and the show received five other nods--including Best Revival of a Play.  Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened at the Longacre Theatre (220 W. 48th St.) on March 20th, after starting previews on March 12th.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is directed by Antony Page, and produced by Elizabeth McCann, Daryl Roth, Terry Allen Kramer, Scott Rudin, Roger Berlind, James L. Nederlander and Nick Simunek.  It features scenic design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Jane Greenwood, lighting design by Peter Kaczorowski and sound design by Mark Bennett.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? originally opened at the Billy Rose Theatre on October 13th, 1962, where it was immediately dubbed a masterpiece of modern theatre and ran for 664 performances.  It received the 1963 Tony for Best Play, and stars Uta Hagen and Arthur Hill were also rewarded.  A 1966 film classic was directed by Mike Nichols, and starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in an art-imitates-life reflection of their rocky marriage.  The film was nominated for Best Picture, and also netted Oscars for Taylor and Sandy Dennis.
