Martha: I swear to GOD George, if you even EXISTED I'd divorce you.
Drink-drenched couple Martha and George return from a campus soirée, inviting new professor Nick and wife Honey for cocktails and party games. This fresh-faced young couple soon become uneasy participants in George and Martha’s rage-filled, booze fuelled psychological war. Love versus hate, truth versus lies, George versus Martha… Who will be the last one standing?
Edward Albee’s dark and mocking critique of the American Dream was famously made into the 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Described by Tennessee Williams as “the only great playwright we’ve ever had in America”, Albee was awarded both a Tony and the Pulitzer Prize for his brutal account of a marriage shaken, stirred and most definitely on the rocks.
