&;Twelve 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 &;a 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.&;
