  3. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?


As the New York Journal-American states, “This is a big one.” Part of the American Theater Canon, this play is sure to have us on the edges of our seats. It’s like a train wreck, and you can’t look away! This Tony Award-winning play follows the unraveling marriage of Martha and George on the night of a university faculty party. After-party drinks with newly-wed guests Nick and Honey lead to deliciously uncomfortable moments as the younger couple get caught in the hosts crossfire and the two relationships threaten to implode. This edition of the script, edited by the late playwright, casts Black actors in all four roles, raising new questions about the American Dream and how rigid idealism can lead to our own destruction.
