Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
“You are cordially invited to George and Martha's for an evening of fun and games”
A history professor and his wife entertain a young couple who are new to the university's faculty. As the drinks flow, secrets come to light, and the middle-aged couple unload onto their guests the full force of the bitterness, dysfunction, and animosity that defines their marriage.
