Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

You are cordially invited to George and Martha's for an evening of fun and games

1966131 min7.7 / 10

A caustic, claustrophobic chamber piece that uses black humor and verbal sparring to expose the corrosive rot beneath a marriage, trapping both the couple and their guests in an evening of escalating cruelty and revelation.

A history professor and his wife entertain a young couple who are new to the university's faculty. As the drinks flow, secrets come to light, and the middle-aged couple unload onto their guests the full force of the bitterness, dysfunction, and animosity that defines their marriage.
