SMOKESCREEN: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? (1966)
SATURDAY 3 JULY | 4PM
A bitter, aging couple, aided by the consumption of alcohol, use their young house guests to hurl anguish and emotional insult at each other over the course of a distressing night. 'Old Swampy' and Martha's marriage is showing to be a magnificent wreck as domestic blisslessness is translated to the screen. These characters are working, albeit painfully, through the realities and illusions of their lives.
"The screen has never held a more shattering and indelible drama than Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" The Hollywood Reporter (1966).
Written by Edward Albee and directed by Mike Nichols.
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal, Sandy Dennis
Ticket includes a standard complimentary drink at The Establishment Bar Dubbo following the film.
