Some Albee appetizers...

Next Wednesday, Sept. 2, we'll be discussing Edward Albee's play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. In preparation for that, Mike Mazza has compiled several short TV parodies of the play he found on YouTube:

Second City Television

Saturday Night Live

Benny Hill

Mike wonders where there are even more like these online, and says: "I suppose folks could view these either as appetizers (with possible spoiler warnings) before reading the play, or as palate cleansers post-reading!".

All very good, Mike, but a different sort of spoof appears in print form. Remember Mad Magazine? The March 1967 issue, #109, features several pages of the movie "Who the Heck is Virginia Woolfe?" Spoilers galore, and the final caption is one of the funniest and cleverest. No word on Albee's reaction.

Thanks for sharing this, Lee. I'll have to look for that spoof! Cheers, Steve
