Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Book • 2024
The play, first staged in 1962, delves into the marital strife of George and Martha, a couple who draw a younger couple, Nick and Honey, into their bitter and frustrated relationship.

The evening exposes the dysfunction of their over twenty-year marriage, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

The play is a critique of American society's illusions of prosperity and equality, and it explores universal themes such as identity, representation, and the future.
