"With the dysfunctional family having become a common entity in so many films, plays, TV dramas, and reality TV shows, Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, which centers on a very dysfunctional married couple, may not be as shocking today as it was when it premiered on Broadway almost exactly sixty years ago. However, it is still a very explosive drama with deeply defined characters and a plot that pulls you in due to Albee's intellectual dialogue and revelatory situations. With sharp direction and a very good cast, Stage Left Productions is presenting a fairly solid production of this classic play....Under Cody Dull's direction, Stage Left's cast deliver performances that are realistic and infused with emotion. Amber Ryan and Eric Schoen are very believable as the long suffering and unhappy Martha and George. Ryan is wonderful as the loud, flirty, and combative Martha, who seems to come alive during the knock-down, drag-out fights with George. Yet, when the truth comes out toward the end of the play, her emotions are raw and result in a moving performance that is heartbreaking. Schoen does a very good job portraying this milquetoast man who seemingly has spent years as Martha's verbal and emotional punching bag...." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
