I just read this incredible interview with Edward Albee. I think I will make the trip to see the show now. Anyone seen it yet? Care to comment?
A CONVERSATION WITH EDWARD ALBEE

Thanks so much for posting that. Very interesting, I agree.
I'm sorry, but I lost all respect for Edward Albee when he came to my college and insulted the professors and told us that theater is not a collaboration at all. he told us that directors should just take exactly what is written on the page and put it on stage without changing or adding or even interpreting anything.
he went to rehearsals of some one acts shows that we were putting on and he asked one of the directors why she had her actors drinking in one of the scenes; it was not written in the stage directions so why did she decide to do it?
the college paid him a lot of money to come to our school and talk for 2 days and he was obnoxious, uninterested, and down right rude. Terrible experience.
