Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
“A Play With ‘Great Staying Power Because It Has a Lot to Say’”
— John Schneider / Shepherd Express
“It’s really just four people, but it really feels like a powerful journey into the nature of human connection.’”
— Russ Bickerstaff / The Small Stage
“If you can handle this dark drama and look behind closed doors to see the sometimes unnerving truth, don’t miss this impressive showing of an outstanding classic.”
— Julie McHale / The Waukesha Freeman
“’the Brumder is the perfect venue for this play—the intimacy of the house forces the audience to be a participant, willingly or not.’”
— Charles Grosz / Shepherd Express
by Edward Albee
Directed by Mark Neufang
History professor George and his boozy wife, Martha, return late one Saturday night from a cocktail party at the home of the college president, Martha’s father. Martha announces that she invited another couple, newly appointed instructor Nick and his timid wife, Honey, over for a nightcap. When the younger couple arrives, the night erupts into a no-holds-barred torrent of marital angst and verbal tirades.
