Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?: The show examines the complexities of the marriage of a middle-aged couple, Martha and George. Late one evening, after a university faculty party, they receive an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, as guests, and draw them into their bitter and frustrated relationship.

Death of a Salesman: The play chronicles the last days of Willy Loman, a man who has spent more than three decades in sales. Biff, his 34-year-old son, is out of work and running out of options. Happy, two years younger, compulsively exaggerates his own accomplishments. Willy’s devoted wife, Linda, supports him unconditionally, but her constant encouragement cannot keep him moored to reality. Willy is literally haunted by the past, and visions of happier days and lost opportunities continually intrude as he struggles to make sense of the present moment.

Propaganda under the cut!

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?:

the only play ive read that really made me feel anything tbh. the tension all throughout it. the ending!!! the confusion and the sudden realisation.... the reality & illusion thing. Aughhhh

It's like eavesdropping on a couple fighting at a restaurant, but you're in their living room and they also invited over people they met for the first time that night 

watching this feels like you've been invited to a dinner party and the couple hosting start bickering and you're feeling kind of awkward and then they start going straight for each other's metaphorical throats and acting like it's a game. every time you try to speak up or say "oh wow it's late we should be going" they make another excuse or they turn it on you. such chaos, such fun

it's straight people in a very toxic relationship who has out their drama in front of everyone and also it was written by a gay man and it is very funny

Death of a Salesman:

SCATHING critique of American society and economic systems

why is nobody talking about how "who's afraid of little old me?" might strongly be a reference to "who's afraid of virginia woolf?" by edward albee? a play about a couple in trouble? she's giving us poetry with TTPD, she's going deep with human existance and relationships. i firmly believe she's reinventing her lyric self this time.

#and i am NOT talking about her past relationships #forger big bad wolf guys #taylor is bigger than that by now #the tortured poets department #taylor swift #rach speaks #who's afraid of virginia woolf

I'm not kidding about this film/play folks.

The ending of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf 🤝 the S4 Black Sails finale.

A story that's true because you tell it a certain way etc etc amen.

It's a little more complex than that, a lot of nuance happening that is hard to encapsulate in one screenshot, but just trust me. Watch.

I guarantee that a Black Sails bitch will have their head blown off multiple times.

#thoughts #black sails #who's afraid of Virginia Woolf #literally a story is true a story is untrue is a thesis statement of this movie

Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. The look on Burton’s face suggests he fully understands the fashion crime he is committing.

“George who is out somewhere there in the dark... George who is good to me, and whom I revile; who understands me, and whom I push off; who can make me laugh, and I choke it back in my throat; who can hold me, at night, so that it's warm, and whom I will bite so there's blood; who keeps learning the games we play as quickly as I can change the rules; who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy, and yes I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: sad, sad, sad... whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: yes; this will do; who has made the hideous, the hurting, the insulting mistake of loving me and must be punished for it. George and Martha: sad, sad, sad... who tolerates, which is intolerable; who is kind, which is cruel; who understands, which is beyond comprehension...”

― Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf: The play follows seven nameless woman through a world of racism, oppression, and sexism. These women of color are named after the colors of the rainbow: Lady in Red, Lady in Blue, Lady in Purple, Lady in Yellow, Lady in Brown, Lady in Green, and Lady in Orange. They tell their stories and the stories of other women they know through poetry, music, and dance. It is a piece that flows effortlessly from one story into the next, never really taking a moment to breathe. The women often help each other tell their stories by acting as a chorus or stepping into the shoes of another character.
