![]() There is a loud crash followed by Martha variously swearing, cursing, shouting ("braying" as George calls it) and insulting her husband, George. The play opens with George and Martha returning home from a party at her father's house. While the language of the play might be acceptable today, in 1962 the opening language was startling, if not shocking, to the audience. Thus, scene i comprises the entrance of George and Martha and ends with the entrance of Honey and Nick. The scenic division will follow the classic method of scene division that is, there is a new scene with either the entrance or exit of a character from the stage. Since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a very long play with each act being rather lengthy, for the sake of critical discussion and explication, each act will be divided into scenes even though this was not done in the original play.
