Cocktails and crossfire are on the menu when one of Broadway’s most famous plays returns to New York for its 50th anniversary at the Booth Theatre. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? tells the tale of George, a history professor, and his wife Martha, whose marriage is based on verbal assault as much as love. Joining the older couple for after-party drinks is the school’s new biology professor, Nick, and his mousy wife, Honey. Things quickly degrade as George and Martha engage in verbal assault that swerves from attacking each other to focusing on the unwitting young couple. Humiliation, drinking and demented party games make for captivating theater at its best that gets even better with tickets from BestofNewYork.com.
 
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a legend of the Great White Way, having won five Tony Awards during its initial run. Working the incomparable Edward Albee’s famous book, Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company brings its original cast led by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) and Tony nominee Amy Morton to reprise their roles as George and Martha with Tony nominee Pam MacKinnon (Clybourne Park) directing. Put on your best suit -- and maybe a flak jacket -- for a hilarious and provocative masterpiece making its way back to New York City in this exciting Broadway play.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a rare production that transcends generations, and meant to be seen on a Broadway stage. This is a Broadway play that will have you thinking as you feel the intensity and friction from a critically acclaimed pair like Tracy Letts and Amy Morton. Edward Albee’s unflinching look at dysfunction and gamesmanship is undoubtedly one of the finest American plays ever written and must be seen when in New York.
