Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? shocked audiences and critics alike with its assault on decorum. At base though, the play is simply a love story: an examination of a long wedded life, filled with the hopes, dreams, disappointments, and pain that accompany the passing of many years together.

Michael Y. Bennett is Associate Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, USA.
