Three acclaimed one-act plays from the early years of the author of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
With the initial productions of The Death of Bessie Smith, The Sandbox, and The American Dream, 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 widely considered America’s most popular and imaginative playwrights, this edition is a must-have for theater lovers.
“One of the few genuinely great living American dramatists.” —Ben Brantley, The New York Times
