In keeping with its mandate of "theatre for the@dvenâ€" turous mind," Paradox Theatre Company is proud to present a modern classic: Edward Albee‘s Who‘s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, opening Feb. 15 at the new Registry Theatre in downtown Kitchener. The premise doesn‘t seem terribly out of the ordiâ€" nary: two couples â€" one young, one older â€" meet at the older couple‘s house for drinks after a faculty party. As the night goes on, a genteel evening of cocktails turns into a wild night of shocking power games that turn on a dime and change rules at whim. Who‘s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has attracted some of the 20th century‘s greatest actors including Uta Hagen, Colleen Dewhurst, Dame Diana Rigg and David Suchet; as well as directors ranging from Franco Zeffirelli to Ingmar Bergman. In recent years, "Virginia Woolf" has been performed from Sao Paolo, Brazil and Bangalore, India, to the classic stages of London and Chicago. The worldâ€"renowned Stratford Festival will also be producing a version of Who‘s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in its 2001â€"2002 season. in 1962 at "Virginia Woolf‘s" premiere, Edward Albee was both reviled and celebrated for his challengâ€" ing new work. Albee was awarded the New York Drama Critic‘s Circle and Tony Awards for Best New Play that year. After the Pulitzer Prize committee selected "Virginia Woolf" as the prize recipient for drama in 1963, the advisory committee overruled the voters, calling the play "immoral." The selection committee resigned in protest and no Pulitzer was awarded for drama that year. Paradox Theatre Company‘s production of Who‘s Afraid of Virginia Woolf runs Feb. 15â€"17 and 22â€"24 at 8 p.m. at the Registry Theatre, 122 Frederick St. For ticket reservations, call 729â€"5495 or eâ€"mail info@paradoxtheatre.com.
