Boston Actors Unite to Bring Albee Masterpiece to Life

Four actors will present Edward Albee's classic "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" under the Actors' Equity Member Project Code this October at the Democracy House in Cambridge.

This Tony Award-winning play examines the breakdown of the marriage of a middle-aged couple, Martha and George. Late one evening after a university faculty party, they receive an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, as guests, and draw them into their bitter and frustrated relationship.

The cast is comprised of Boston-area actors David Berger-Jones, John Davin, Melissa Jesser, and Donna Sorbello. In fact, presenting "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" was the brainchild of Davin and Sorbello, who first worked together years ago in Orlando, Florida. "I really wanted to work on this play," Sorbello shared. "And I thought George was a great role for John." "The great thing is we have a history of performing together," Davin added. "We have a special connection."

Co-directed by Danny Bolton and Lewis D. Wheeler, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" will be presented in the intimate setting of the Democracy House in Cambridge. "When we originally talked about doing "Woolf" I thought it would be great to do in someone's house," Sorbello said. "When I was later introduced to the Democracy House, I knew it was the perfect fit."

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" plays Friday, October 10th at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, October 11th at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 12th at 3:00 p.m. at the Democracy House, 45 Mt. Auburn Street, Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA 02138. Tickets are $20. To reserve tickets, email [email protected].
