George and Martha have been married 23 years. He teaches at a small New England College run by Martha’s father. At one time, George’s future as a possible successor to his father-in-law was bright. But it didn’t happen. Now, as Martha says he’s just “a bog” in the history department. On a particularly bitter night, a good-looking young biology professor and his wife arrive for a nightcap and soon become blood sport during a booze-drenched evening. Written by Edward Albee
