Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee

Translated and directed by Nelson Chia
A Macau Arts Festival programme

An elderly professor, George, and his wife, Martha, invite university newcomer, Nick, and his wife, Honey, over to their place for a late night party. As the night passes, they find themselves caught in the middle of a marital conflict. Fuelled by alcohol and using language as weapon, they are compelled to blemish, hurt, seduce and manipulate, in order to wound their opponents. In the end, mad lies become their only hope. How will this night of torment end?

Truth and illusion - can we tell the difference between the two? Do we have the courage to live in a world with no illusion but our true self?

After its successful premier in Huayi 2012, this production will be travelling to the Macau Arts Festival in June 2013.

Performed in Mandarin, with English, Chinese & Portuguese surtitles.
