Left to right, Matthew Broderick, Mia Farrow, Uta Hagen and Jonathan Pryce take their bows at the Nov. 14 benefit reading of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. In celebration of her 80th birthday, Hagen, alongside Broderick, Farrow and Pryce, read the play for the benefit of her 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.
