The comedian calls Don and Lane, "George and Martha." Those are the names of the main characters from the 1962 Edward Albee's play, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" The play deals with the complexities of marriage between a middle-aged couple, and would later be adapted into a movie of the same name. Since the play's 1962 opening, there has been, in some communities, an alternative interpretation of it being a veiled story of turmoil in a homosexual relationship. This theory received mainstream exposure when powerful critics such as Leslie Fiedler and Stanley Kauffman started publishing it in such widely read periodicals as the Partisan Review, Newsweek, and the New York Times. Albee himself was vehemently opposed to the interpretation.
