Inhaltsangabe

Three Plays by Edward Albee features three acclaimed one-act plays from the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright's early years.

With the initial productions of The Death of Bessie Smith, The Sandbox, and The American Dream, Edward Albee consolidated his reputation as a brilliant new talent of the New York theater scene. These three plays tackle major themes such as race relations, American family life, and the essence of theater itself--each of which still continue to resonate.

Representing the bold and exciting periods in the then young career of Albee--widely considered one of America's most popular and imaginative playwrights--this edition is a must-have for theater lovers.
