Sex, alcohol, drama! What better elements can make up a play? While reading this play all I could think was that crazy attracts crazy, and if only walls could talk. Every family puts on a public façade but I pray to God that when they get behind closed doors they are not as dysfunctional as Martha and George.
Martha and George both came from unstable childhoods so I would expect nothing less from them. They never dealt with or seeked help for the issues of their past so they operate the only way they know how.
In all honesty, Albee hit the nail right on the spot. This play was set in the 1960’s and we are in the 2011 dealing with some of the same issues. It is still true to today’s society. So many people continue to have unhealthy relationships because they are scared of what the next person may think of them.
