Meet George and Martha.  Come over for a few drinks.
Stay for a boozy little game of "Get the Guests."
You'll never forget it.
 
“To spend an evening with George and Martha is to be on the battlefield of an alarmingly ferocious, caustically funny marital war.  It's a fight to the death.  You don't even think about doing this play unless you have a truly superb cast — and we have." JOHN WRIGHT, DIRECTOR
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a superlative classic of the American stage – a revealing and completely engrossing drama that challenges both actors and audiences to bring the best of their wits and hearts to the events of the evening.
In the concluding scene of the play, Albee is at his most brilliant, invoking, as he so often does, a metaphor that illuminates all that has preceded. It is poetic, deeply moving and unforgettable.

“. . . while "Virginia Woolf" may be the most vicious portrait of a marriage this side of Strindberg, it is also – deeply and truly – a love story." BEN BRANTLEY, NEW YORK TIMES, 2005

 Albee recently revised the play and the new version has been presented to rave reviews in New York and London. Blackbird Theatre and the outstanding cast of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf are extremely excited to present the new version of this powerfully thrilling drama to theatregoers in Vancouver.
This is not just a play about marital warfare: it is Albee's state of the union message about the American tendency to prefer fantasy to reality. And the climax here acquires a shattering emotional power . . ." MICHAEL BILLINGSLEY, THE GUARDIAN, 2006
Among the most emotionally rigorous works ever written for the stage, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? tells the story of George and Martha, a history professor and his wife, who turn the late evening visit of a new young campus couple, Nick and Honey, into a fraught and wild game of “Get the Guests.” As the exchanges become increasingly savage and the humour more trenchant, it becomes apparent that the marital warfare between George and Martha conceals deep wounds.

“[Theatregoers] are destined to leave . . . feeling like winners, shaken but stirred by the satisfaction that comes from witnessing one helluva fight.” BEN BRANTLEY, NEW YORK TIMES, 2005
