Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
by Edward Albee · 1962
Classics · ranked #51 in category
George and Martha, a middle-aged academic couple, invite a younger couple — Nick and Honey — back after a party and spend the night performing a savage ritual of mutual destruction. Albee's play is one of the great American domestic dramas: a study in love as warfare, illusion as survival, and what couples do to each other in the name of intimacy.
