Summary

Edward Albee speaks with Newsday critic Linda Winer. Although the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright may seem out of place as a guest on Women in theatre, Winer dispells any doubts about his suitability in her introductory description of Albee as the inventor of "some of the most fascinating, complicated, profoundly entertaining women characters ever created by woman or man in this or any other lifetime." Albee and Winer discuss these characters, including Martha from Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and the memorable women's roles in The American dream, A delicate balance, All over, Seascape, Three tall women, The play about the baby, and The goat, or who is Sylvia? Albee expounds on the sources of his characters; his seemingly rare ability as a male playwright to write complex, affirming women characters; and his play Three tall women, which featured one of his rare creations based on an actual person.
