WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
"WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?"
This 1966 intense drama is a true classic. Based on the Pulitzer Prize Winning play by Edward Albee, it examines the complexities of the marriage of a middle-aged couple. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are marvelous in their roles. George Segal and Sandy Dennis also turn in great performances. They all bring each of their complex characters to life. In turns, they steer and then ride, the emotional roller coaster, that is their evening together. It won 5 Academy Awards, 3 BAFTA Awards and a National Board of Review Award.
SYNOPSIS: "History professor George (Richard Burton) and his boozy wife, Martha (Elizabeth Taylor), return late one Saturday night from a cocktail party at the home of the college president, Martha's father. Martha announces that she invited another couple, newly appointed instructor Nick (George Segal) and his timid wife, Honey (Sandy Dennis), over for a nightcap. When the younger couple arrive, the night erupts into a no-holds-barred torrent of marital angst and verbal tirades."
