«Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?» is the play by Edward Albee, published by Signet in paperback (242 pages, in English).
George, a disillusioned university professor, and Martha, his sharp-tongued wife, have returned from a faculty party with a younger couple. What begins as an informal evening turns into a verbal duel full of reproaches and lies: the four characters end up exposing their frustrations and the fictions that sustain their lives.
The original text was published in 1962 and received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1963.
It is suitable reading for those who enjoy classic American theatre and for study in academic settings.
Edward Franklin Albee III was an American playwright known for works such as The Zoo Story (1958), The Sandbox (1959), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962), A Delicate Balance (1966), and Three Tall Women (1994). Some critics have argued that some of his work constitutes an American variant of what Martin Esslin identified as and named the Theater of the Absurd. Three of his plays won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and two of his other works won the Tony Award for Best Play.
