Episode Details

Original tape date: May 23, 1989. First aired: March 3, 2023.

Renowned playwright Edward Albee discusses a wide range of topics with host Edwin Wilson, including the difference between listening and hearing in the theater, the creative impulse and the writing process, and why he directs his own plays. The two also touch on the writing of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," the false distinctions between realism and artifice, and Albee's more experimental works, including his play "Seascapes" and a two-evening adaptation of Nabokov's "Lolita" that had yet to be produced.
