Leverett Old Library

April 27-May 6

STORY: Edward Albee's harrowing examination of sexual and social politics has stunned audiences for generations with its blend of scathing humor and unnerving psychological intensity. The action unfolds in the living room of middle-aged couple George and Martha, who come home from a faculty party of a "prestigious New England private college" drunk and quarrelsome. When young bio prof Nick and his strange wife Honey stop by for a nightcap, the two are enlisted in George and Martha's night-long power struggle, a battle of savage witticisms, malicious games, insults and betrayals.

BUZZ: The experience of watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is almost like being trapped in a pressure cooker just waiting to explode. The production will emphasize this "too close for comfort" aspect with the intimate confines of the Leverett Old Library, where the actors will almost be on top of the audience. Expect a very polished final product with lots of attention to detail, from the subtle-but-significant sets to the superbly nuanced characters.
