Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf? 2022

Play by Edward Albee

German by Alissa and Martin Walser

Albee's intention to write dramas that "go so deep under the skin that it is almost unbearable" is consistently realised here. The colloquial language of the lifelike characters and the oppressive atmosphere of this psychodrama are the hallmarks of this modern classic. The work became world-famous through the film version with Richard Burton and Elisabeth Taylor - who, as is well known, also had their private lives in tatters.
