This new collection features three acclaimed one-act plays from Edward
Albee's early years. With the initial productions of The Death of
Bessie Smith, The Sandbox, and The American Dream, Albee consolidated
his reputation as a brilliant new talent of the New York theater
scene.
These three plays tackle major themes such as race relations, American
family life, and the essence of theater itself -- each of which still
continue to resonate. Representing the bold and exciting periods in the
then young career of widely considered America's most popular and
imaginative playwrights, this edition is a must-have for theater lovers.
