Conversations with Edward Albee

Edward Albee has reigned over the American theater since 1959. By transporting the techniques of European absurdism to American soil, he ushered in a new era in the American theater. He has said he won two and one-half Pulitzers---one for Delicate Balance , one for Seascape , and the one-half supposedly for Virginia Woolf , which the Pulitzer committee denied to Albee in 1962 because they objected to the language of the play.
