CenterStage Players – That’s Who!

Come see this award winning play which is seldom produced because of its difficulties.

A biting dark comedy and gut-wrenching psychological portrait of the breakdown of a marriage, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has been a mainstay of American theater since winning the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play and the 1962–63 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. Its stars won the 1963 Tony Awards for Best Actor and Actress as well. It was also selected for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by that award’s drama jury. However, the award’s advisory board – the trustees of Columbia University – objected to the play’s then-controversial use of profanity and sexual themes, and overruled the award’s advisory committee, awarding no Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1963. It was later immortalized in a film adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Written by the acclaimed Edward Albee, the story follows George and Martha, a middle-aged couple who invite a younger husband and wife over for drinks and, over the course of the evening, use their guests as pawns in increasingly cruel mind games, leading to a devastating revelation. Razor-sharp dialogue and incisive character portraits make Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? one for your theatrical bucket list.  Now Lynne Aronson directs a brilliant new production for CenterStage Players.
