    Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is one of Edward Albee's masterpieces and a classic of the contemporary American theater. In spite of this, I had only seen the movie version prior to my trip to Northside Theater Company. I am now a devoted fan of both the play and of the theater company. The production is worthy of a major venue and the actors do themselves and playwright Albee proud. Tom Amon's George is a hand grenade wrapped in soft felt. The neighbors probably think he is charming, but his claws and teeth are sharp and tinged with poison. Sarah S. David as Martha manages to navigate the complexities of the character skillfully and without losing sight of Martha's vulnerability and humanity. She is raw, occasionally cruel, and always sexual, but she is also very real. Richard Orlando's set embraces the stage and the action like a comfortable glove. All-in-all, this is a production that shouldn't be missed. Collapse
