Conversations With Edward Albee (Literary Conversations Series) - Hardcover

$15.95. theater For his addition to the "Literary Conversations" series, editor Kolin has selected 27 of the more than 125 interviews Albee has given. Arranged chronologically, they cover the years from his first success in 1961 with Zoo Story to 1986. As the foremost American avant-garde playwright, Albee discusses his plays, the creative process, the critics ("ignore them"), and the state of American theater, which he finds to be thriving in experimental and university settings. Since all the interviews are quoted in full, there is much repetition of information. Still, this is of interest to serious theater students and deserves to be in most theater collections. Marcia L.
