BWW Feature: Salute to Edward Albee
by Bryan-Keyth Wilson - Oct 10, 2016


It was during my undergrad years at Sam Houston State University that I was introduced to the writings of Edward Albee.

It was in 1963 when WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? debuted on Broadway and shook the foundation of the theatre world. Albee's work delves into the human psyche with an in-depth view of relationships, marriage, and sex. His presence will be truly missed but his mark on the theatre world is undoubtedly immortal.
