Publick Theatre Boston Presents Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

BOSTON, MA. - Publick Theatre Boston will present Edward Albee's penetrating and harrowing exploration of marital strife and truth versus illusion Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? featuring Tina Packer and Nigel Gore as Martha and George. Directed by Diego Arciniegas. Aging history professor George, and his razor-tongued wife Martha, have returned home from another tedious faculty event at a small New England college. But the night is far from over. Martha has invited a young new professor, Nick (Kevin Cain), and his mousey wife, Honey (Angie Jepson) for late-night cocktails and parlor conversation. Pleasantries dissolve as the liquor flows, and the party devolves into an escalating war of words between George and Martha. The young couple is soon drawn into the volcanic battle, exposing dark secrets within their own marriage. By dawn, no one remains unscathed.
