“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” comes to Chapel Hill

by Patty Griffin | November 21 2011

UNC’s PlayMakers Repertory Company will host the classic play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in the Center for Dramatic Art. If love is a battlefield then these are two of the struggle’s consummate contenders in this knock-down, drag-out love story from the savagely wicked pen of an American master. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, and so sizzling that the Pulitzer Prize committee chose Virginia Woolf to receive its award for drama, then back-tracked and didn’t give an award that year! Join George and Martha and their guests for a gin-soaked evening of fun and games and one dazzlingly nasty fight to the finish.

Performances are Nov 30 – Dec 18 on Tuesdays – Sundays in the Paul Green Theatre on Country Club Road. Evening shows are at 7:30 pm and matinees are at 2 pm. Tickets range from $10-45. Box Office hours are 12pm-6pm Monday through Friday. Call (919) 962-PLAY or visit http://www.playmakersrep.org. The play is directed by Wendy C. Goldberg.
