Review of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) by Lauren H — 21 Jan 2008
Who could ever forget the phrase "Getting Angry Baby?" No-one once you have entered into Edward Albee's drama and Mike Nichol's cinematic adaptation. The beauty lies in the chemistry -between Taylor and Burton, Segal and Dennis and the camera's themselves.
Truth or illusion is the special of the day and a feast we are never short of when entering into the relationship of George and Martha that eroticizes pain and excudes sheer pandemonium. It is the story of one night - but how many nights are filled with games concerning exorcisms, getting the guests, and Martha's version of fun and games.
It captures perfectly the dependancy in marriage - almost like a scientific experiment of domestic unhappiness. So come, enter and become claustrophobic in Albee's metaphor of marriage.
