Everyman at the Parkway: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 35mm!

Co-presentations between The Parkway and Everyman Theatre continue with a 35mm presentation of the Taylor/Burton classic, hosted by Everyman's Donald Hicken! Winner of five Academy Awards! Director Mike Nichols (The Graduate) marks his film debut with this electrifying 1966 adaptation of Edward Albee’s play about an unhappy middle-aged married couple (Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton) whose evening derails into an alcohol-fueled mind game, ensnaring their houseguests (Sandy Dennis and George Segal) as unwitting pawns. Long Day’s Journey Into Night director Donald Hicken will introduce the film and host an informal discussion following the screening. “Here, with a director who knows how to get an actor’s confidence and knows what to do with it after he gets it, [Taylor] does the best work of her career, sustained and urgent.”—The New York Times “Elizabeth Taylor earns every penny of her reported $1 million plus. Her characterization is at once sensual, spiteful, cynical, pitiable, loathsome, lustful and tender.”—Variety
