From its debut in 1962, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was a wild success and a cultural lightning rod. The play transpires over one long, boozy night, laying bare the lies, compromises, and scalding love that have sustained a middle-aged couple through decades of marriage. It scandalized critics but magnetized audiences. Across 644 sold-out Broadway performances, the drama demolished the wall between what could and couldn’t be said on the American stage and marked a definitive end to the I Love Lucy 1950s.

A Rollicking Good Tale
Revisado: 02-22-24
Couldn’t stop listening to this well researched, astutely observed and wonderfully well written work. Not only does it take a deep dive into the Hollywood sausage factory at a pivotal time in the culture, but it captures the culture—the one we used to share before today’s Balkanization, as Gefter notes, and a circle of gods we all used to admire and or concern ourselves with. It is ancient history brought beautifully to life. I’m left with the image of Richard Burton driving Elizabeth Taylor in the Rolls Royce she bought for Eddie Fisher that always brings a smile.

Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations. He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this.

Six stars possible?
Revisado: 07-14-19
A bracing listen for anyone who has ever: been in love, fallen out of love, been confused by parenthood, adulthood, marriage and the single life. The author gives the narrator a text to shade and nuance. May we get a sixth star for rating? This review actually written by Nancy Spiller's husband, Tom, who got to the file first.
