Download or read book Three Plays by Edward Albee written by Edward Albee and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2013 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 26 September, 1937, was the day the infamous blues singer Bessie Smith died. This tragic event is the setting for Edward Albee's The Death of Bessie Smith, which addresses the myth that Bessie was refused admittance to a 'whites-only' hospital before she died. The Sandbox is an absurdist play detailing a woman's final moments. Albee's innovative plot sees the actors directly address the audience and acknowledge their roles as performers. The American Dream is Albee's acerbic take on the most quintessential of US aspirations, examining the crushing falsehood of everything that traditional America, on the cusp of a new decade, took for granted. All three plays first opened on Broadway in the early '60s and continue to be performed all over the world. Albee peerlessly explores the controversies of the human experience in a way that undoubtedly makes him one of the greatest contemporary American playwrights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Albee, perhaps best known for his acclaimed and infamous 1960s drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is one of America's greatest living playwrights. Now in his seventies, he is still writing challenging, award-winning dramas. This collection of essays on Albee, which includes contributions from the leading commentators on Albee's work, brings fresh critical insights to bear by exploring the full scope of the playwright's career, from his 1959 breakthrough with The Zoo Story to his recent Broadway success, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? (2002). The contributors include scholars of both theatre and English literature, and the essays thus consider the plays both as literary texts and as performed drama. The collection considers a number of Albee's lesser-known and neglected works, provides a comprehensive introduction and overview, and includes an exclusive, original interview with Mr Albee, on topics spanning his whole career.
