81st!

Happy Birthday Edward Albee!

"Sometimes you have to go a long distance out of your way to come back a short distance, correctly."
-The Zoo Story

Favorite playwright, even takes first ranking over Stoppard. Seeing The Zoo Story in college live after having reads it years before was one of the best theatrical experiences ever, and all it took was 2 men, a bench, a book and a trash can. As Albee always taught, minimalism leaves a mind open to interpretation.
