His scenes are charged with wit, pain, and laughter, and his observations tell us about forgiveness, reconciliation, and our own fates. But it is his probing portrait of the three women that reveals Albee's genius. Separate characters on stage in the first act, yet actually the same \"everywoman\" at different ages in the second act, these \"tall women\" lay bare the truths of our lives--how we live, how we love, what we settle for, and how we die. Edward Albee has given theatergoers, critics, and students of drama reason to rejoice.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324358000863,"sku":"9780452274006","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1d46zkp0yD9780452274006.webp?v=1788429732"},{"product_id":"the-goat-or-who-is-sylvia-paperback","title":"The Goat Or, Who Is Sylvia? - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect, prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the TV business, but the interview uncovers a secret that threatens to turn celebration into tragedy in this Tony Award-winning drama.

Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple - an opportunistic new professor at the college and his naïve new bride - to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter which engulfs both couples lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha's inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, finally revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324377923807,"sku":"9780822212492","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/BSVhkKPXuw9780822212492.webp?v=1788429827"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/edward-albee.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
