A theater lover's guide to the dramatic works of one of America's
most important living playwrights Edward Albee is without doubt one
of the giants of American theater, in the same pantheon with Arthur
Miller, Eugene O'Neill, and Tennessee Williams. His prolific career
includes three Pulitzer Prizes and the 2005 Lifetime Achievement
Tony Award. At the age of eighty, Albee is still producing major
works for the theater--most recently a prequel to "The Zoo
Story,""" which shocked the country when it first appeared in
1958--and his plays have seen major revivals on and off Broadway in
recent years. Yet even with this resurgence of popularity, no
up-to-date treatment of his plays is currently in print. With
engaging discussions of his most famous plays, such as "Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "Three Tall Women,""" as well as his
lesser known works, this essential guide reveals the heart of
Albee's drama, highlighting the themes of sex, death, loneliness,
and time that have occupied the playwright during his almost fifty
years in the theater. Toby Zinman is the theater critic for the
"Philadelphia Inquirer," She has written for numerous publications,
including "Variety,""" "American Theater,""" and "Theatre Journal,"
She is Professor of English at the University of the Arts,
Philadelphia.
