Main Street Community Theater
Edward Albee
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"

Performance dates:
May 1,2,3, and 8,9,10 7:30 pm

One literate and profane night in the pathological marriage of two
tortured souls, a middle-aged New England professor and his carping
wife. Turning the underbelly of bourgeois academia into a microcosm of
human relationships in all their arduous complexities, is a harrowing
descent into the private lives and painful secrets of two couples
thrown together for an evening. George is an associate professor of
history who has turned to alcohol to deal with his vituperative,
vicious wife Martha whose appetite for administering abuse knows no
bounds. Invited to the couple's home for late-night drinks are new
professor Nick, and his naive wife Honey where over the course of the
evening, the polished veneer of the hosts tarnishes grotesquely. The
witty repartee of consummate sophisticate Martha degenerates into
increasingly violent verbal abuse of both her husband and guests,
while George's stoic facade crumbles both physically and emotionally.
The horrified Nick and Honey initially come off as happier foils to
the misery of the older married couple, but the guests are soon
mirroring George and Martha in their mutual antagonism, giving voice
to buried resentments and alcohol-fueled revelations of repressed
injuries. Written by filmfactsman
