Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
by Edward Albee
Directed by Ross Brannigan
Season Dates: 16 - 27 March 2027
Rehearsals are Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7pm and Sunday afternoons/evenings (TBC).
All roles are unpaid.
Auditions at Titirangi Theatre - 15 November 2pm
SYNOPSIS:
Marriage and psychological warfare.
One of the most shocking dramas of its era. Even now it continues to inspire, with a production at the National Theatre, currently running.
A classic American drama, with comedic overtones. The story of George and Martha and their combative marriage comes to a head in one alcohol-laden night when they invite a younger couple over for drinks. The ferocious humour of their battle of wits and their fantasies make it hard for the audience to decipher what is true and what isn't.
ROLES: (all have a standard US accent)
Martha (mid 50s to mid 60s) She has no boundaries, except that she will not let her insecurities and frustration become public knowledge, A cutting wit and the ability to hold her intoxication. She feels that her life is a disappointment. She masks her frustration by flirting with Nick.
George (mid 50s to mid 60s) He is intelligent, a history Associate Professor and reluctant to destroy his marriage. Bitter and exhausted he holds on to calmness as a tactic to survive his wife's criticism.
Honey (mid 20s) Described as rather plain. Fragile and naive. Terrified of adult responsibilities. She has a weak stomach.
Nick (late 20s to 30s) He is a biology junior lecturer. Described as handsome, an ex boxer. Ambitious and calculating. His motives for marrying Honey are put to the test.
* Note that the play deals with sexual harassment and physical violence and includes strong language. There will not be any nudity. There will be a stunt and an intimacy coordinator.
