In 1962, when Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? stunned its first Broadway audiences with its radical, provocative, and unflinching portrait of a marriage, Edward Albee instantly became the most important American playwright of hisa??generation. Next spring, a new company of theatrical powerhouses takes on this landmark drama, nearly sixty years after its legendary Broadway premiere.

The plays was most recently seen on Broadway in 2020 with Laurie Metcalf and Rupert Everett, directed by Joe Mantello.

Now in its 47th season, "Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcases laughs, surprises and great performances, airing live on Saturday nights from NBC's famed Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center.
