Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An award-winning writer reveals the behind-the-scenes story of the provocative play, the groundbreaking film it became, and how two iconic stars changed the image of marriage forever.From its debut in 1962, Edward Albees Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was a wild success and a cultural lightning rod. The play transpires over one long, boozy night, laying bare the lies, compromises, and scalding love that have sustained a middle-aged couple through decades of marriage. It scandalized critics but magnetized audiences. Across 644 sold-out Broadway performances, the drama demolished the wall between what could and couldnt be said on the American stage and marked a definitive end to the I Love Lucy 1950s.Then, Hollywood took a colossal gamble on Albees sophisticated playand won. Costarring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the sensational 1966 film minted first-time director Mike Nichols as industry royalty and won five Oscars. How this scorching play became a movie classicsurviving censorship attempts, its directors inexperience, and its stars own tumultuous marriageis one of the most riveting stories in all of cinema.Now, acclaimed author Philip Gefter tells that story in full for the first time, tracing Woolf from its hushed origins in Greenwich Villages bohemian enclave, through its tormented production process, to its explosion onto screens across America and a permanent place in the canon of cinematic marriages. This deliciously entertaining book explores how two couplesone fictional, one all too realforced a nation to confront its most deeply held myths about relationships, sex, family, and, against all odds, love. An award-winning writer reveals the behind-the-scenes story of the provocative play, the groundbreaking film it became, and how two iconic stars changed the image of marriage forever.
