Two couples in a living room during a long night. Martha and George are the hosts, in their fifties; Honey and Nick, considerably younger, are the guests. As time passes and drinks keep flowing, the four descend into a demonic spiral of “disillusionment, betrayal, fantasy, and unrestrained desire.” When Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? premiered on Broadway in 1962, two things happened: the production sparked unprecedented controversy, and its author, Edward Albee, was immediately elevated to the pantheon of great 20th-century American playwrights. Performed countless times around the world, this masterpiece now arrives on the stage of the CCB in a production directed by Simão do Vale Africano. A devastating yet deeply moving text. A black comedy—highly comic and profoundly dark. As Albee observed: “Sometimes it is necessary to spill blood.”
