ALBEE DAMNED

Previews begin tonight at The Geffen Playhouse for Edward Albee’s most famous and most vicious masterpiece Who’s Afraid of  Virginia  Woolf? George and Martha, the American theater’s most notoriously dysfunctional couple, have invited the young and naïve Nick and Honey over for drinks. What begins as harmless patter escalates to outright marital warfare, with the provincial newcomers caught in the crossfire. Stage and Cinema offers behind-the scenes rehearsal photos to prepare you for the 60th anniversary of this hilarious and harrowing yarn.
