When Edward Albee’s play, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, was adapted into film in 1966, it literally broke the mold. This glimpse into a declining marriage, fueled by booze & a heck of a lot of yelling, lead to the eventual overhaul of the Hollywood Production code in favor of the classification system similar to the one used today. Even after 45 years, it still holds the record for all time best tagline: “A Warner Bros. Technicolor film – even though it was shot in black & white.”
The scathing accusations, the icy quarrels, the rancorous slanders, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf is brutally funny & definitely worth heading down to the Granville Island Stage to catch before March 12th.
Check out what the critics have to say:
"Gabrielle Rose takes one of the great female roles in modern theatre and
makes it both roar and soar… complex, witty, and wonderful" —Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun
"Malicious fights, backstabbing, and word games like a knife through
butter…vastly enjoyable…worthy of Albee’s greatness" —Michael Harris, The Globe and Mail
"Woolf has teeth and tenderness…a splendid invigorating production" —Jo Ledingham, Vancouver Courier
"A true American classic…Blackbird delivers the goods with a flourish.
This is a great production of a great play" —Jerry Wasserman, Vancouverplays
