IN the mid-sixties, there was a popular play
titled ‘Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf’?’ a parody of the song ‘Who’s Afraid of
Big Bad Wolf?’ from Walt Disney’s The Three Little Pigs. The story revolves
around two couples trying desperately to suppress certain truth which to their
consternation manages to come out leading to thunder and fury. In her writing,
Virginia Woolf attempts to expose the truth: all of the things that the couples
try to cover up. When the couples sing the song together, they make mockery of
their own fear of the truth and are attempting to project, a false image.
