Original Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Movie Posters

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? movie posters from Mike Nichols's 1966 adaptation — starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — rank among the most distinctive theatrical items of a decade defined by the adaptation of provocative stage material to Hollywood production. The film follows a night of savage psychological combat between a middle-aged academic couple and their younger guests, delivering Albee's language with an intensity that the stage productions of the play had never achieved. Shop original theatrical materials from this landmark production. Nichols's debut feature was filmed in black and white by cinematographer Haskell Wexler—a deliberate choice that gave the film's claustrophobic domestic setting a documentary rawness appropriate to its subject. Taylor won her second Academy Award for the role of Martha, while Burton's George earned him a nomination. The production required both stars to age significantly from their glamorous public personas, a transformation each delivered with complete commitment. Original theatrical materials for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? are among the most consistently sought in 1960s American cinema collecting.
