Abstract
Albee’s play has a campus setting and features two members of faculty and their wives as its only characters. I review the play to pick out themes in their lives and then connect these to Virginia Woolf herself as bipolar personality and as woman and writer. Much of the text is then a discussion of illusion and reality.
