Don't Miss Last Weekend of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' at the North Fork Community Theatre

Edward Albee's classic centers on a toxic marriage laced with cruel games and black humor, NFCT says.

One of Broadway’s most enduring classics will see its final performances at the North Fork Community Theatre in Mattituck this weekend.

Edward Albee’s classic ”Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” is a 1962 play that casts a spotlight on the crumbling marriage of a middle-aged couple, Martha and George.

“Late night drinks at George and Martha’s after a faculty party turn into a harrowing evening for the unsuspecting guests, Nick and Honey. Edward Albee’s stinging domestic drama depicts a toxic marriage laced with cruel games and black humor, and lays bare the dark underside of human relationships,” a release from NFCT states.
