About the Show

The 50th anniversary of this Edward Albee classic, brought the show back to Broadway starring Tracy Letts and Amy Morton.

George and Martha, a middle-aged history professor and his wife, return home after a faculty get-together. During the party, Martha’s father, the president of the college, had introduced the couple to a new teacher and his wife, and unbeknownst to George, Martha has invited them over for drinks—tonight. As George and Martha sling insults at each other, their wide-eyed guests, Nick and Honey, arrive. At first, the young couple is disconcerted by George and Martha’s bickering, but as the liquor flows, Nick and Honey find themselves drawn into their hosts' tumultuous, damaged world.

See it if you want to see the freshest take on this Masterwork yet. The direction is stellar and the perfect cast is devastatingly brilliant.

Don't see it if intense bloodletting cerebral drama where nothing is off limits leaves you cold. This production not for you.

Great acting, Masterful, Profound

See it if great acting and very absorbing enjoyed thee quality of the actors

Ambitious, Strong acting, Intense, Evergreen, Yelling

See it if you like Albee...and his classic tale of dysfunctional marriage. Well-acted (esply by Letts) and, therefore, uncomfortable. Hell on earth.

Don't see it if you like lighter fare. I admire Albee's play, but I don't enjoy it. This production was solid in prodn values, acting, and direction. Read more

Must see, Thought-provoking, Exquisite, Riveting, Great acting

See it if you were terribly disappointed in the last revival--this production nailed every element almost to perfection.

Don't see it if you prefer plot-driven stories and the contemporary structure of short, choppier scenes.
