This project - being a faithful adaptation of Edward Albee's ground-breaking theatre-production "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" - aims to bring the drama and barbarity found in the play, to the screen.


Set in the early 1960s on the East Coast of the USA, college-teacher George and his wife Martha invite round a younger-pair (Nick & Honey) for a supposed "after-party". Though, as the night progresses, the bitter and venomous nature of the old-married-couple exposes all sorts of ugliness found within the four. 

A truly multifaceted story, the film sheds to light the complexities of marriage via all taking place over the course of one exhilarating yet exhausting evening.


From the creation of the set to the costumes (and everything in-between) the film is to be made by students studying at Bristol-film school "Screenology".

This Cahootify Opportunity is for the role of "George" in the 2021 film-adaptation of Edward Albee's renowned theatre-production - "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf".

George is a middle-aged American man who is married to Martha - the two have been with each other for decades and do nothing but fight and argue.
Considerably more quiet and reserved than his wife, he is, undoubtedly, a broken man. Constantly woeful that he has under-achieved in his career and growing more sick of his "better-half" by the day, he envelopes his depression and self-hatred via a façade of smarminess and self-entitlement.
