About the Author
Noted American playwrightEdward Franklin Albeeexplored the darker aspects of human relationships in plays likeWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1962) andThree Tall Women(1991), which won his third Pulitzer Prize.People know Edward Franklin Albee III for works, includingThe Zoo Story,The SandboxandThe American Dream.He well crafted his works, considered often unsympathetic examinations of the modern condition. His early works reflected a mastery and Americanization of the theater of the absurd, which found its peak in European playwrights, such asJean Genet,Samuel Barclay Beckett, andEugène Ionesco. Younger Pulitzer Prize-winnerPaula Vogelcredits daring mix of theatricalism and biting dialogue of Albee with helping to reinvent the postwar theater in the early 1960s. Dedication of Albee to continuing to evolve his voice — as evidenced in later productions such asThe Goat or Who Is Sylvia?(2000) — also routinely marks him as distinct of his era.Albee described his work as "an examination of the American Scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, a condemnation of complacency, cruelty, and emasculation and vacuity, a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy-keen."
