Earning a Pulitzer and three Best Play awards for 1994, Edward Albee has, in Three Tall Women, created a masterwork of modern theater.  As an imperious, acerbic old woman lies dying, she is tended by two other women and visited by a young man.  Albee's frank dialogue about everything from incontinence to infidelity portrays aging without sentimentality.  His scenes are charged with wit, pain, and laughter, and his observations tell us about forgiveness, reconciliation, and our own fates.  But it is his probing portrait of the three women that reveals Albee's genius.  Separate characters on stage in the first act, yet actually the same "everywoman" at different ages in the second act, these "tall women" lay bare the truths of our lives—how we live, how we love, what we settle for, and how we die.  Edward Albee has given theatergoers, critics, and students of drama reason to rejoice.

ALBEE E WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF

Vintage/Ebury (A Division of Random House Group)

The first British publication of a brilliant new Albee play If you have no wounds, how can you know if you're alive?In THE PLAY ABOUT THE BABY, a young couple who are madly in love with each other, have a child - the perfect family - that is, until an older couple steal the baby. Through a series of mind games and manipulations, they call into question both couples' sense of reality and fiction, joy and sorrow in this devastating black comedy which invites parallels with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. "You're unlikely to find a more intriguingly structured, provocative or entertaining new play" - Curtain Up "The Play about the Baby rockets into that special corner of theatre heaven where words shoot off like fireworks into dazzling patterns and hues" - New York Times

The Play about the Baby. by Edward Albee (Methuen Drama Modern Plays)

Methuen Publishing

On his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the TV business; but in the course of the conversation a secret emerges that threatens to turn celebration to tragedy. The Goat is hugely enjoyable parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love."My plays are 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" - Edward Albee Winner of the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2002
