Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Pittsburgh City Paper: It's still a great play, one of my favorites, and I salute any company with the guts to produce it … which The Summer Company has, under the direction of T. J. Fierno, with John E. Lane, Jr., and Anne Brannen as George and Martha, and Matt Robinson and Lisa Cummins as their victims … er, guests.

I have to say it is unfortunate that casting and performance seems a bit off, but as the article mentions, Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf is a very powerful piece and therefore difficult for a performer. I applaud Duquesne University for the attempt but this work is good for literature/Foundations of Drama classes for the same reason it is not necessarily a good choice for performance: it is a quick sharp work with so many layers. But a school does not put on work for profit, rather for experience and learning. And I have to say that at $10 students (Duquesne only?) and $15 general admission, the production, even with weaker-than-ideal points is probably worth the money.
