Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Transcript of the talk with Edward Albee |

Mr. Albee, is it possible to see Nick and Honey as representing young George and Martha? This would then mean that after 22 years of marriage George and Martha would finally think about what's gone wrong in their relation. Or is this not how you would like to see your play? |

Well, I can't stop anybody from thinking that way if they want to. But none of the characters in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" are metaphorical. They are real people, in real situations. These people are not representatives - Nick and Honey are not representatives of George and Martha 20 year later. They are representatives of themselves only. |
