From Michael Bennett:
Dear colleagues/friends,
(Please forgive the cross-posting and feel free to distribute this CFP.)
I am guest editing a Special Issue of Modern Drama on Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to mark Albee's Centenary celebration in 2028. Entitled "New Ways of Looking at Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, in Honor of the Edward Albee Centenary," this special issue of Modern Drama is planned for Summer 2028. I believe that the title of the special issue is more than self-explanatory.
While final essays of 6-9k words will not be due until May 2027, I kindly ask potential contributors to email me an abstract of up to 250 words at bennettm@uww.edu by June 1, 2026. You may also feel free to email me to informally discuss a potential idea for an article for the special issue.
Thanks and take care,
Michael
