In celebration of her 80th birthday, Hagen, alongside Broderick, Mia Farrow and Jonathan Pryce, read the play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf for the benefit of Hagen's HB Playwrights Foundation & Theatre.
In the premiere 1962 staging of Edward Albee's award-wining play, Hagen created the role of Martha, taking home that season's Tony Award for Best Actress. The critically acclaimed play involves a middle-aged couple, George and Martha, who invite a younger professor, Nick, and his wife, Honey, over for an evening that turns into a night of drunken game games-playing.
