Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

OPENS February 26, 2027

Monroe Stage

by Edward Albee

One night. Two couples. Nothing left unsaid.

“A play that jolted the Broadway season to life… its language is whiplash-strong and leaves welts.”—TIME Magazine

Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a gripping, darkly funny portrait of marriage pushed to its limits. On a late night in a New England college town, middle-aged couple George and Martha invite a younger faculty member and his wife over for drinks. What begins as polite small talk spirals into a relentless game of psychological warfare, as secrets surface, illusions shatter, and long-buried resentments erupt. With razor-sharp dialogue and shocking emotional turns, the play stands as one of the most electrifying dramas in the American canon.

Premiering on Broadway in 1962, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? became an immediate sensation, earning five Tony Awards, including Best Play. It has been revived multiple times on Broadway to critical acclaim, and its 1966 film adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton won five Academy Awards, cementing the work’s enduring cultural impact.
