Marriage Play

Edward Albee's Marriage Play is another fantastic piece of theatre by one of my favorite playwrights of all time. He has a way with dysfunctional relationships. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf...?, Three Tall Women, The American Dream, I mean the list just goes on. He is amazing in each of those plays as well. And while I love his work, something about the dysfunctional marriage theme is starting to drag on. I enjoyed it thoroughly in Virginia Woolf...?, and most of the others. However in Marriage Play, I find it a little more tired than usual. The end is fantastic and exactly the way it should end, however the character dynamics leave much to be desired, at least for me.

~7/10~
