«Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?» is the stage play by Edward Albee, published by Penguin in paperback (144 pages, in English).
The play takes place one night after a party, when the mature married couple Martha and George receive the young couple Nick and Honey in their living room. Amid alcohol, games, and provocations, the evening drifts into recriminations and revelations that lay bare the lies and frustrations of both marriages.
The play belongs to the Penguin Plays collection. It won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1963.
For readers interested in contemporary American theater and students of literature.
Edward Franklin Albee III was an American playwright known for works such as The Zoo Story (1958), The Sandbox (1959), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962), A Delicate Balance (1966), and Three Tall Women (1994). Some critics have argued that some of his work constitutes an American variant of what Martin Esslin identified as and named the Theater of the Absurd. Three of his plays won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and two of his other works won the Tony Award for Best Play.
