#ElizabethTaylor won the #Oscar for her performance as "Martha." #RichardBurton is her husband "George."
It's a juicy role, full of venom and rage, and Taylor went absolutely *beyond and DGAF what anyone thought!
Must-see, if you haven't. It's full of shouting and drinking and some violence, so not for everyone.

On Nov. 21, 1963, the #LordChamberlain ‘s office requested additional changes to #EdwardAlbee ’s controversial play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in this letter to producer Donald Albery. The play opened several months later on Feb. 6, 1964 at the Piccadilly Theatre in the #WestEnd with Uta Hagen & Arthur Hill. | From Albery’s Papers at the Harry Ransom Center: https://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/guides/StageProducersManagersandAgents #TheatreHistory #Letters #London #OTD #TodayInHistory
