Edward Albee, three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and one of the most important dramatists of contemporary world theater, turns birth and death into an analysis of our times—a warning about the emptiness of our lives, the threats to our communal nation, our culture, our educational system and our moral health. His works include: The Zoo Story, A Delicate Balance, The Sandbox, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Seascape, and Three Tall Women, among others.
