My wife and I decided we needed a bit of cheering up, so we're off to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf in a while, at the Watertower Theater in Addison. I figure that, once we go listen to George and Martha and Nick and Honey, the minor problems we face, like potentially catastrophic client loss and subsequent bankruptcy, just won't seem so overwhelming. Actually, we have season tickets, so this is an obligatory visit to see the play.I don't know, though, I'm not sure seeing the play in our small theater will be the same as seeing Albee's characters portrayed on the wide screen by the likes of Richard Burton, the perfect George.

I saw this as a play in Ashland a couple of years ago. It's meticulously paced, so the character flaws, and then the character enormities, are revealed in due time.
Phil, I was absolutely blown away by tonight's play. I saw some of the best performances I've seen in a long, long time. Obviously, they owe it all to Albee, but these actors were incredibly good! First time I can recall being completely willing to sit through a 3-hour play without fidgetting!
