Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a play by Edward Albee that explores the complex and dysfunctional relationship between a middle-aged couple, George and Martha. They invite a younger couple, Nick and Honey, over for drinks, and as the night progresses, the interactions between the characters reveal deep-seated resentments, secrets, and illusions, leading to emotional and psychological turmoil. The play delves into themes of illusion versus reality, the breakdown of communication, and the destructive nature of societal expectations.
