Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a ferocious and landmark work of American theatre, first performed on Broadway in 1962, that dissects the myths sustaining marriage, ambition, and the American Dream with the precision of a scalpel.\n\nAlbee's masterwork stands as one of the defining dramatic texts of the twentieth century, drawing on the traditions of absurdist theatre while remaining viscerally grounded in psychological realism. The play argues, with devastating clarity, that the illusions we construct to survive may ultimately be more destructive than the truths we cannot bear to face. Written in three acts — Fun and Games, Walpurgisnacht, and The Exorcism — its structure mirrors the ritualistic unravelling of its characters' carefully maintained façades. A Pulitzer Prize winner and a cultural touchstone, this Penguin Plays edition presents a text that continues to haunt readers and audiences alike, leaving one to wonder: what truths are you hiding behind your own closed doors?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342773526747,"sku":"2026200016200-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/98d20cb5-01d1-469c-b5fc-074c4b381d7d.png?v=1790049070","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016200-secondhand-whos-afraid-of-virginia-woolf","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
