Edward Albee (Playwright) - Age, Birthday, Bio, Facts, Family, Net Worth, Height & More

Edward Franklin Albee III is an American playwright known for his works such as The Zoo Story, The Sandbox, Who's A Fear of Virginia Woolf ?, A Delicate Balance and Three Tall Women. Some critics argue that some of his works are an American variant of what Martin Esslin has identified and called the Theater of the Absurd. Three of his plays won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and two of his other works won the Tony Award for Best Play. His works are often seen as candid tests of modern conditions. His early works reflected the irrational theatrical maturity and Americanization that culminated in the works of European playwrights Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco and Jean Genet. Its alternating phases include the psychological exploration of maturity, marriage, and sexuality. Young American playwrights such as Paula Vogel claim that Albee's blend of theatrical and dramatic dialogue helped re-create the post-war American theater of the early 1960s.
