Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

About This Show

Ford’s Theatre presents Edward Albee’s classic Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 55 years after its New York premiere. The premise? Married couple George and Martha invite Nick and Honey to their home after a faculty party. What awaits their late-night guests is not a welcoming nightcap but verbal sparring fueled by alcohol and 20 years of marital dysfunction. Bristling with wit, Albee’s play is funny and heart-wrenching as it exposes the fears and secrets of both couples while blurring the line between reality and illusion. Aaron Posner directs and Holly Twyford stars as Martha in this modern masterpiece.

Note: This show is recommended for ages 17 and older.
