Weston Playhouse Theatre Company Presents Edward Albee's WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?

Weston Playhouse Theatre Company presents the famed, thought-provoking drama, Edward Albee's WHO'S AFRAID OF Virginia Woolf? (August 15 - September 1 | Weston Playhouse), Tues - Sat 7:30pm; Wed & Sat 2:00pm; Sun 3:00pm.

It's two o'clock in the morning when George and Martha return home from a college faculty party, but the night has only just begun. An evening of fun and games takes a turn as the line between reality and illusion blurs. As stirring and provocative today as it was when it premiered, this classic asks what we are willing to do to, and for, the people we love.

Says director Mike Donahue: "WHO'S AFRAID OF Virginia Woolf? is at heart a great love story - shockingly funny, provocatively honest, and drunkenly raucous - that illuminates the degree to which deep love and decades-long partnership sometimes require an honesty that can be ugly, painful, even destructive...but worth it."

Donahue previously directed UNCLE VANYA at Weston Playhouse. NYC credits include world premieres of Matthew Lopez's THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE (MCC, The Geffen and Denver Center); Jen Silverman's COLLECTIVE RAGE (MCC, Woolly Mammoth); THE MOORS (Playwrights Realm - NYC premiere); PHOEBE IN WINTER (Clubbed Thumb); Jordan Seavey's HOMOS, OR EVERYONE IN AMERICA (Labyrinth); and Ethan Lipton's RED-HANDED OTTER (Playwrights Realm). Donahue is a recipient of a Fulbright to Berlin, the Drama League Fall Fellowship, The Boris Sagal Fellowship at Williamstown, and he was the artistic director of the Yale Summer Cabaret for two seasons.
