Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf

An intensity, a demoniac misery, a ferocious humour…no one can remain indifferent to its power, its resilience of ideas and its range of language * Sunday Times *Deliciously toxic, acidly funny * Washington Post *There is a great sense of danger in Edward’s work, and you never quite know what’s going to happen next… I think what is one of the most pronounced ingredients in his work is mischief – Harold PinterScorching and exhilarating * New York Post *The verbal sparring and violence of Albee’s early masterpiece remain astonishing, even frightening, yet bitterly, horribly funny…a classic play * The Times *An extraordinary classic that still packs a punch * Independent on Sunday *A brilliantly original work of art * Newsweek *
