Description
Edward Albee's searing, formally perfect drama—one of the defining works of American theater in the twentieth century—follows a brutal, brilliantly verbal war of attrition between two married couples through a long, drink-soaked night, revealing through the combat the fundamental strategies of psychological self-preservation and self-destruction that all intimate relationships contain. Written with the most technically accomplished dialogue in American drama since O'Neill and the moral courage to follow its characters to the absolute limit of endurance, this is essential reading for every student of drama. A genuine masterwork.
