Description
Middle-aged history professor George, and his wife Martha, are joined by another college couple. The result is an all-night drinking session that erupts into a nightmare of revelations.
Martha: Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want...so don't worry about me! George: Martha, I gave you the prize years ago...There isn't an abomination award going that you... Martha: I swear...if you existed I'd divorce you...

Reviews
An intensity, a demoniac misery, a ferocious humour...no one can remain indifferent to its power, its resilience of ideas and its range of language * Sunday Times *
Deliciously toxic, acidly funny * Washington Post *
There is a great sense of danger in Edward's work, and you never quite know what's going to happen next... I think what is one of the most pronounced ingredients in his work is mischief -- Harold Pinter
Scorching and exhilarating * New York Post *
The verbal sparring and violence of Albee's early masterpiece remain astonishing, even frightening, yet bitterly, horribly funny...a classic play * The Times *
