Seller gave a detailed description of the book and the product lived up to its expectations. I'm halfway through the book and despite this book being over 4 decades old, the binding holds up well and pages are easy to read. Seller thoughtfully packaged this book and I am pleased with the shipping and my reading experience.

This book which l'm only half way through currently, is very easy to read and follow, you're given a description of the four characters at the start which helps and it is written as the play with directions throughout such as the tone of what they're saying or doing whilst speaking which makes it easier to play the show out in your mind. Would recommend...........

Best example of a perfect "American Dream" or so as they called it. But here that American Dream is never fulfilled and that's what causes all the bickering and arguments between the couple George and Martha. Satisfying their lives with make believe games and never reaching that goal of theirs because the unfulfilled dreams created a vacuum in their hearts which ripped them apart.

The product itself was great quality, small and easy to transport. The play is fantastic and should be read by anyone who isn’t thinking about getting married soon. A darkly comic story about a marriage that has reached its boiling point one drunken night with two guests to watch the carnage.

Have to say, when I got this I didn't expect much from it. Infact I was not intreged at all by the summaries I had read. But wow! This simply blew me away, I understand why this play is so highly praised now. I would love to see this play in real life now. The writing style and way Albee uses different texts and writing techniques to emphasize his characters really shows how experienced an author he is. This play throws you into the complicated relationship and life of Martha and George and it dives deep into the realities of marriage and the American way of life. This play dares to show the deep thoughts of the American house hold as we watch the nigh unfold. I was simply blown away by this and I read it in one day. I could not stop reading it because you become so invested and interested in the characters. The way Albee sets this story up is just perfect. He pulls us into George and Martha's life right away and quickly sets up a plot that is so thick and shocking. There are parts in this play that are so surreal that they are almost real. It's really a rollercoast ride of a play and I recommend everybody who is interested in human psychology or relationship...

After a botched robbery goes wrong, Virginia Woolf - a gangsters moll with a heart of gold, decides to take matters into her own hands. Drawing on her contacts from the seedy world of sex workers and organised shop-lifters, 'Big Ginny' assembles a crack team to pull off one last job. However her involvement with Geraldo, an itinerant poet and scultptor has unintended consequences. She must decide whether to follow her heart or follow the security van that Dirty Mrytle has tipped her off about. Expect thrills aplenty with this riveting read especially for those chapters seeing the welcome return of Mile End Dolores the Walking Thesaurus. A few too many car chases for my liking but a consistent attention to detail rewards fans both Young and old. Congrats Mr Albee I can't wait to read the next book in your series 'Virginia Woolf - Yeah wot of it slag?' as Big Ginny moves in on the prison black market for cigarettes and eye-liner...

When it first premiered in New York in 1962, Edward Albee’s darkly comedic play, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, was so controversial it was actually considered to be theater of the absurd. Now, many years later, the play stands as a milestone achievement of realistic drama, often being quoted as one of the greatest plays ever written. With a reputation as one of the staples of America Drama, Edward Albee’s revered play has been subject to endless analysis, all of which investigate just what makes the play so timeless. With an intricate plotline, four fully realized characters, and well executed themes of truth and illusion, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf is a masterpiece of ultra-realism depicting one of literatures most vicious marriages.
The first facet Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf utilizes to it’s advantage is a creative and original plot. Depicting two married couples using each other for their own personal gain may not seem entirely original, but once one looks at the time of publication, it becomes apparent just how unique this play’s actions are. But, in order to discover just how finely tuned the plot is, one must first deconstruct...

The play is stark and depressing with only a hint of hope at the end. Albee throws dung all over what he sees as the shallow "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" veneer of the 1950's. I feel that the play succeeded precisely because the picture it paints is so far outside the normal experience of those of us who came of age in the '60's, when the play debuted. I read Albee's first play, "The Zoo Story", in college. It did not inspire me to pursue his work further. Occasionally over the ensuing decades I heard references to the title of the movie "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", without realizing that it was a play by Albee. I have not yet seen the movie, but plan to do so now that I have read the play.
I recently read the novel "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf, which caused me to recall the title of Albee's play. I was curious as to how the play related to Woolf herself and her works. "Mrs. Dalloway" depicts the pretensions and social constraints of the "Downton Abbey" generation in Britain, while "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is more of a psychological study of illusion versus reality. Woolf's work is tragic, but with a dreamlike quality....
