by Edward Albee Apr 6 – 22, 2012 The Cabaret Theatre at the Temple of Music & Art |
This production is directed by Terry Erbe, and features Lesley Abrams, Bill Epstein, Amy Erbe, and Robert Anthony Peters.
"Winding Road's production is led with style, fury and passion by Lesley Abrams... (she) conveyed a real sense of the deep turmoil and sadness that rules her life... Bill Epstein does some of the finest work we've seen from him in his portrayal of George... Erbe's deep understanding of the piece, and the power of the story, serves the play well..."

"Now you can stop avoiding Edward Albee's game-changing "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," thanks to Winding Road Theatre. Directed by Terry Erbe, this production mines a laugh-out-loud comedic vein that leavens the overall heaviness of the sprawling, drunken three-hour sparring match... Erbe stages the play in the round of the Temple of Music and Art's upstairs Cabaret Theatre, much like the boxing match that it is. By eliminating the fourth wall's dominance, movement flows freer, giving the seemingly chaotic events a more natural feel. It also converts the audience into voyeurs as they surround the actors on all sides... Lesley Abrams gave a brassy, self-assured performance as Martha. She hurled insults with a steely glint in her eye and an inscrutable smile on her face through mercurial changes of mood and tone. When the going got rough, she deftly retreated with the brilliance of Ali's rope-a-dope, hoping to throw George off-balance. She cooed, cuddled and manipulated Nick with sweet 1960s cougar moves. Abrams gave a complex, subtle performance that exposed her character down to the bone. Bill Epstein as George provided Abrams with both an adept foe and a devious co-conspirator."

"You can feel every tight jaw and clenched muscle in the ever-taut Winding Road Theater Ensemble production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" now playing... Lesley Abrams has her inner Elizabeth Taylor cranked up to "11" playing Martha in a performance that perfectly melds her character's brassy exterior onto her inner frustration..."
