'Thirty-four-year-old Edward Albee was largely unknown when Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened on Broadway on October 13, 1962. A series of startling and innovative one-acts had made Albee the "King of Off-Broadway," but at a time when Off-Broadway was the avant-garde outer fringe of America theatre. The mainstream theatre-going public had no idea what to expect. What they experienced was a simultaneously realistic and absurd portrayal of a middle-aged couple, George and Martha, whose long-simmering and much rehearsed quarrelling escalates from witty bickering and ritual malice to a brutal and heartbreaking revelation of their mutual self-deception.'
