Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Edward Albee
Summary:
The play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is set on the
campus of a small, New England university. It opens with the main
characters, George and Martha coming home from a party at her father's
house. The two of them clearly care deeply for each other, but events
have turned their marriage into a nasty battle between two disenchanted,
cynical enemies. Even though the pair arrives home at two o'clock in
the morning, they are expecting guests: the new math professor and his
wife.
Of course, as it turns out, this new, young professor, Nick, actually
works in the biology department. He and his wife, Honey, walk into a
brutal social situation. In the first act, "Fun and Games," Martha and
George try to fight and humiliate each other in new, inventive ways. As
they peel away each other's pretenses and self-respect, George and
Martha use Honey and Nick as pawns, transforming their guests into an
audience to witness humiliation, into levers for creating jealousy, and
into a means for expressing their own sides of their mutual story. In
the second act, "Walpurgisnacht," these games get even nastier. The
evening turns into a nightmare. George and Martha even attack Honey and
Nick, attempting to force them to reveal their dirty secrets and true
selves. Finally, in the last act, "The Exorcism," everyone's secrets
have been revealed and purged. Honey and Nick go home, leaving Martha
and George to try to rebuild their shattered marriage..
