Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is widely considered to be one of the greatest American plays. The original Broadway production won five 1963 Tony Awards, including Best Play, Best Actor, and Best Actress, and the film based on the play was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and won five.  The play is a dark comedy packed with sparkling wit and language that dissects and illuminates the complex marriage of George and Martha over the course of one long, searing, drunken night of dangerous fun and games into which they pull their guests, a young couple with secrets of their own. By the end at dawn, the lines between reality and illusion have been stretched beyond recognition, and lives are changed forever.

This play remains as shocking and truthful today as when Albee wrote it.  A masterclass in psychological warfare, the production offers the perfect blend of explosive comedy and harrowing drama. Packed with intellectual depth and unrelentingtension, this play proves that the search for reality amidst a web of illusions is as devastating—and as necessary—as ever. Our cast consists of an extremely talented group of MCT veterans: Manirose Bobisuthi (Martha), Ian S. Dyer (George), Sarah Mitchler (Honey), and Issac Ludington (Nick).
