[NEohioPAL] REVIEW: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF at Beck Center (Laura Kennelly)

[Laura Kennelly]

Review by Laura KennellyEdward Albee’s *Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*,
now disturbing the peace in the Beck Center’s Studio Theater, reminds us
that drinking and talking do not mix. Although it premiered in 1962, much
still rings true today in this production directed by Donald Carrier. The
plot is simple: the wife of a senior faculty member invites a new faculty
member and his wife over for a 2 AM nightcap after a drunken faculty party.
The resulting continuation of the booze fest turns into a disaster for the
two couples. Exploitation and vulgarity get passed around evenly and
everyone sustains damages before it’s over. It’s surprising how many
betrayals can fit into three acts. (See the rest of the review at Cool
