Mr. Albee prohibits

The Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about an
upper middle-class family
whose world is shaken and stirred when their lifelong friends come to
stay because of the unspoken terror within.
The Play
A gaggle of damaged souls just wants the fear inside to stop. They are
screaming into the abyss of their own emptiness while tossing acidic
barbs at each other. Their words have clever and elegant precision, yet
they stem from a tumultuous world of inner chaos. In Albee’s landmark
drama, very little happens on the outside, yet their riveting story
unfolds with gripping power and exhilarating force, revealing
casualties in every closet.
