...changing effects of a long, group drunk. Drunkenness is a dimension of the play, one that changes with time, allows constant development of the characters and permits repetition and refinement of the themes. Frank McCarthy and Cathie Robinson as the middle-aged history professor George and his bitch wife Martha, and Al Ronzio and Lori Heineman as their young faculty-party acquaintances, Nick and Honey, work well under the requirements of this changing dimension. Much of the success of the Atma production of Virginia Woolf depends on the four actors' ability to alter their speech, motions, and emotions...
