Gamm's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' is must-see theater in Warwick Westerly Sun (2/1/24)
"Even if you've seen Albee's four-person, three-act powerhouse of a play in the past — even if you saw Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton duke it out on screen, or Tracy Letts or Kathleen Turner simmer on stage and think you couldn't possibly see it again — you must. You have to see the Gamm's searing, stunning, near-perfect interpretation of Albee's gut-wrenching, powerful, painfully intimate, shocking dark, dark comedy. Yes, it is that good. Unusually good."
