Edward Albee's Quiet Rise From Greenwich Village to Broadway Fame
Edward Albee, hailed as the theater's spotlight author of the year, reflects on his career from early one acts to the Broadway hit Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? He discusses prizes, his antiheroic portrayals of marriage, and his shift from off Broadway to full length drama. Born March 12, 1928 and raised in foster care, he built a swift, precise writing method and plans new works including The Ballad of the Sad Cafe and The Substitute Speaker.
