Hans Fischer - Mr. Albee, is it possible to see Nick and Honey as representing young George and Martha? It would then mean that after 22 years of marriage Geoge and Martha would finally think about what has gone wrong in their relation. Or is this not how you would like to see your play?

Edward Albee - Well, I can't stop anybody from thinking that way, if they want to. But none of the characters in "Who's Afraid of Virginia" are metaphorical. They are real people in real situations. These people are not representatives. Nick and Honey are not representatives of George and Martha 20 years later. They are representatives of themselves only.

Hans Fischer - Thank you very much.
