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)
