[00:00:00]Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? By Edward Albee in less than a minute.

[00:00:05]George and Martha are married.

[00:00:07]Technically.

[00:00:08]In reality, they spend most of their time tearing each other apart.

[00:00:13]Late one night after a university [music] party, they invite a younger couple, Nick and Honey, back to their house for drinks. Bad idea. What starts as polite conversation quickly turns into emotional warfare.

[00:00:27]Martha humiliates George. George fights back quietly.

[00:00:31]Nick gets pulled into the chaos. Honey just wants to survive the evening. As the drinks keep coming, so do the secrets.

[00:00:39]Insults, flirting, cruel games, and then the biggest truth of all.

[00:00:45]George and Martha keep talking about their son, but he doesn't exist. They invented him. A shared illusion to hold together a marriage built on disappointment. When George finally destroys that illusion, everything collapses.

[00:00:59]The play asks one brutal question. Can love survive without lies? Or are some illusions the only thing keeping us [music] alive?
