Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee’s blistering 1962 drama about martial dysfunction takes the stage at the Manatee Performing Arts Center. The narrative traps audiences inside the living room of a middle-aged academic couple, George and Martha, as they draw a younger faculty pair into their bitter, alcohol-fueled psychological games. The production relies heavily on the four-person cast to maintain the script's relentless verbal sparring and claustrophobic tension until the final, devastating reveals.
