America's most important living playwright, Edward Albee, has been rocking our country's moral, political and artistic complacency for more than 50 years. Beginning with his debut play, The Zoo Story (1958), and on to his barrier breaking works of the 1960s, most notably The American Dream (1960), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1963), and the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Delicate Balance (1966), Albee's provocative, unsparing indictment of the American way of life earned him early distinction as the dramatist of his generation. His acclaim was enhanced even further in the decades that followed w.;Foreword; On The Zoo Story; Which Theater Is the Absurd One?; Some Notes on Nonconformity; Broadway Excesses; Carson McCullers; Lillian Ross; Ad Libs on Theater; Noël Coward; James Purdy; Creativity and Commitment; The Future Belongs to Youth; ...
