Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

About the Show

You’ve all seen the film. Now, see it live and up close and, without changing a word of the dialogue, the added dimension of George as a minority! This rare but simple non-traditional casting decision heightens the drama and distinguishes this production from others. Gregg W. Brevoort directs.

Having made the steep climb to become an Associate Professor of History without full tenure in 1962, George now must face the tragedy of having fallen in love with the wrong woman. His Caucasian wife Martha is the daughter of the President of New Carthage University, his boss. Having given up on George’s fortunes during a time when a woman’s identity is derived from her husband’s success, she openly longs for blonde lovers and blonde sons. This fractious middle-aged interracial couple of George and Martha confronts the seemingly content young blonde couple of Nick, the genetic engineer, and Honey during a drunken late-night party only to reveal the lies underpinning both marriages. In the end, each couple is left with only the truth and their love.
