€œTwelve times a week,€ answered Uta Hagen, when asked how often she€d like to play Martha in Who€s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Like her, audiences and critics alike could not get enough of Edward Albee€s masterful play. A dark comedy, it portrays husband and wife George and Martha in a searing night of dangerous fun and games. By the evening€s end, a stunning, almost unbearable revelation provides a climax that has shocked audiences for years. With the play€s razor-sharp dialogue and the stripping away of social pretense, Newsweek rightly foresaw Who€s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as €œa brilliantly original work of art€"an excoriating theatrical experience, surging with shocks of recognition and dramatic fire [that] will be igniting Broadway for some time to come.€
